Summary: Sinning the Screwtape Way
Comment: This is an excellent manual from Hell that reveals a few of the enemy's methods. Unless you are unusually self-aware or totally self-unaware, this book may/will show you some dark spots of your heart, hidden so deeply that you no longer realize their presence. Satan (along with his minions) is truly worthy of the moniker deceiver. Maybe the devil does "make" us do it, but we still may suffer the eternal consequences if we let Satan play his hand to the full.
This fictional book is well-written as a series of letters from a demon in his bureaucratic office to his subordinate field worker. It tells us how a young demon may learn the craft of temptation while we learn along with him. It also tells about the hearts of his temptees (us) and how noble we often feel while we are being lured away from Jesus. After all, pride may be our greatest sin.
C.S. Lewis is a master of thought, insight and plain expression in my opinion, as well as in the opinion of many others. Read this one, then read more, like Mere Christianity, etc. And don't forget his fantasy tales. Tolkien had nothing on him except popularity.

Summary: A book that every Christian should read
Comment: His Abysmal Sublimity Under-Secretary Screwtape is an old experienced tempter, a highly respected expert in his field. And so, Screwtape takes time out of his hellishly busy schedule to send letters of advice to his nephew, Wormwood, who is shepherding along his first human. This book is a collection of Screwtape's letters, giving sound advice on how a Christian can be steered away from Heaven, and safely delivered to Hell. Along the way, the reader is treated to some of the most profound Christian reasoning that I have ever read!
To put it succinctly, this book is without a doubt one the greatest (if not THE greatest) works of practical Christian living that was ever written. C.S. Lewis's use of a demon giving advice to his nephew is simply inspired, allowing him to mix deep theology and reasoning with upbeat (and offbeat) humor. I loved the book, and I love this audio version of it - John Cleese does an excellent job of playing Screwtape, adding in the emotions the role deserves, and now I can't even imagine anyone else doing it.
This is a great book, one that every Christian should read (or listen to) at least once in his or her life, and maybe even read on a regular basis. I've listened to it five times in a row, and want to hear it some more. This is practical Christianity!

Summary: Different perspective
Comment: This is an amazing way of looking at the spiritual warfare of the Christian faith. As Christians, we always look at upside of things. We focus on the attributes of God and the way he works in our lives. This book looks at it from the other side. It gave me a whole new perspective on the ways I am tempted. This novel could be described as "the Christian's guide to outsmarting Satan and his tactics." I found that it was a very accurate description of the ways Satan comes after believers "seeking whom he may devour." In reading this novel, one can be prepared for the fiery darts Satan will send his or her way and can be aware of the more subtle deceptions that the devil may use.
