The Screwtape Letters
FROM SARAH:
This is, perhaps, the book I've read more than any other. It's my favorite high school read-aloud (actually, we prefer it on audio). I get something new from it every time I read it. It's my favorite of everything C.S. Lewis wrote... and that's saying something! 😍 Recommended for ages 15+ for the best impact.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old Devil to his nephew, Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man.
