  C.s Lewis is one of my favorite authors. He always finds a way to inspire us.. his readers. I just finished reading his book “The Screwtape Letters” It’s all about Screwtape’s (The Demon) letter to his apprentice Wormwood. Screwtape was giving advices to Wormwood on how lure us to temptations and sins. At first, I thought that
  this was some kind of a joke. Two demons writing lettersto each other. As I move on and as I continue to read this book I was able to see what C.S Lewis would like to show us.. and I read Screwtape’s letters to Wormwood it’s getting deeper and deeper. It’s getting more serious.
  
  C.S Lewis illustrates the work of the demons. He clearly stated in this book how odious Screwtape is. It was also written, how they savor the souls of the sinners. Screwtape even proposes a toast for the their “gentledevils” their new “Temperers”.
  
  What I had learned from this book is, never let temptation take over ourselves. Though we are just human and ...
- we do commit mistakes, let’s just avoid it as much as possible. For me, it is like a gun, once you pull the trigger you cannot stop the bullet. There is a time for salvation and forgiveness. Once we learned that lesson let’s just avoid it to happen again because the Devils and Their “Father Below” (According
  to C.S Lewis) will be so happy. And the most important thing here is, trust in the Lord. He is there guiding us and no matter what happen He will never let go. We may have a rough time and situations, but we need to learn how to lean on Him and we need to believe in Him.

Lord Foulgrin’s Letters by Randy Alcorn

This book is a shameless rip-off of C.S.Lewis's "The Screwtape Letters." Judge for yourself: in C.S.Lewis's book, a demon named Screwtape writes letters to a subordinate demon, instructing him how to keep a certain man away from faith in God; in Mr. Alcorn's book, a demon named Foulgrin is ...

The Timewaster Letters by Robin Cooper

This book is very funny. It is full of odd letters that the author has written to various people, such as IKEA, offering suggestions and asking questions. In one, he writes to an organization to suggest a new colour. This book is a great way to waste some time. I'm ...

The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis book

The Great Divorce, penned by C.S. Lewis, is widely known amongst students attending Christian universities. I believe many would classify the book as a theological dissertation, regardless of its creative setting. To capture readers’ attention, C.S. Lewis created a fantasy situation, where spirits would travel from Purgatory to Heaven ...

That Hideous Strength by C.S.Lewis

The first thing most readers say about That Hideous Strength, Book 3 of the Space Trilogy by C.S.Lewis, is that it is very different from the first two. I agree, the book is, indeed, very different. First of all, it is not science fiction. Instead of taking us on ...
