I am not reading this book now, but I have and consider it to be a classic, a must-read for any Christian, fan or follower.
C.S. Lewis takes his infinite imaginative skill by writing from a demon's point of view; a demon, Screwtape, who is set on helping his nephew, Wormwood, be a better demon. But yet, the lessons really aren't for Wormwood.
They are for us.
Lewis dedicated this to JRR Tolkien. If you've read any of The Lord of the Rings books or seen the movies, you know who Wormwood was. Tolkien's homage to Lewis? Or Lewis's homage to Tolkein?
Either way, it is just so cool to me that Tolkien and Lewis were friends; that I have walked the same path they did.
That these buildings I saw at Magdalen College, Lewis worked in.
My plan for this blog was to write about authors in their birth month; Lewis's birthday isn't 'til November. I feel like celebrating him today.
We can celebrate Lewis any month!
