Book Review of The Screwtape Letters

The Screwtape Letters
DimensionX avatar reviewed on + 65 more book reviews


I had this book laying around for many years. I think my reluctance to read it was based on the fact that, being written so long ago, I had trouble understanding the vernacular of the day - unfamiliar words and phrases. When I finally picked it up, I read the entire book in one day. I still did not understand everything I read - the book was written in a writing style that I find difficult - but what I did understand absolutely amazed me. There are so many enlightening truths in this book; truths so subtle that I never would have realized them on my own, but now that I do, I feel like my spiritual understanding has increased immensely. It all just makes such perfect sense. (I wish I understood it better; I have no doubt I would have learned so much more...I know I'll be re-reading this book.) I cannot over-emphasize how great this book is. Absolute highest recommendation!
