“Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our enemy’s [God's] will, looks around upon a universe from which every trace of him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.” - C.S. Lewis
Every Saturday my family and I go to the library downtown. I really look forward to this day. We always stay for at least an hour - sometimes more. We all love to read. And Cam likes to play the computer games. I usually peruse the stacks for something totally random to distract my busy brain. Today I walked by The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. I love this book. I read it for the first time when I was about 15. C.S. Lewis is absolute genius…. he is hands down one of my very favorite authors. Anyway, I checked it out to read it again. I’ll probably drop a few more quotes from Uncle Screwtape from time to time. I suspect a lot of you have read it - it’s pretty popular. But if you never have - - i highly recommend. The premise: it’s a collection of letters (obviously, fictional) from a demon character named Screwtape to his demon understudy Wormwood. He is basically mentoring him on how to screw with human minds in order to keep them from falling into the enemy’s (God’s) hands. Outstanding.
Great stocking stuffer, too!
