In teaching this work in Sunday School, I found this book to be an invaluable resource. There are many elements that set this study guide apart from others. For each letter, there is a brief synopsis which digs below the surface to reveal the meaning behind many of the communications between Screwtape and Wormwood. Each letter also has an exhaustive list of study questions, with accompanying answers. What impressed me most was that each answer contained numerous references to Scripture so that the reader can continually affirm what God's Word says in relation to the points presented both by the characters in the book and by Mr. Gonzales himself.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - From the time of the fall of man, when The Creator first annunciated his auspicious plan to remediate the effects of that fatal lapse, the spiritual nemesis of mankind had been at work to unseat the life of God from the soul of man.-Fast-forward several millennia. In 1940, a particularly insightful writer and avowed opponent of that nemesis-one C.S. Lewis-managed to intercept some of the correspondences between one of the Devil's minions-called 'Screwtape'-to a junior devil-called 'Wormwood.' These letters revealed a nefarious plan to tempt and ultimately to destroy just one of the objects of God's saving grace. Spoiler alert-they failed! Now, the Devil and his agents had to start from scratch. Not wishing to be outdone for having failed to snuff out their selected Christian 'rat,' the Enemy hatched an even grander plan. This time he would go after the 'nests,' that is the churches! The selected stratagem was to stir up so much dissension and division, that the unifying ligature of God's Church, which is the secret of its power, would be broken down, thereby exposing the rats themselves to error and apostasy. 'The Slubgob Letters,' named for Lewis' Head of the Tempter's 'Training College,' contains the correspondences between Slubgob and his trainee 'Woodworm,' disclosing the details of this new 'master-plan' to 'eat away' at the structure of the churches, and thus, to destroy both the vermin and their revered institution.-No spoiler alert here. Read the book!.

Compact Disc. Condition: new. Compact Disc. From the award-winning audio drama team that brought you Radio Theatre's Amazing Grace and The Chronicles of Narnia. In his enduringly popular masterpiece The Screwtape Letters, C. S. Lewis re-imagines Hell as a gruesome bureaucracy. With spiritual insight and wry wit, Lewis suggests that demons, laboring in a vast enterprise, have horribly recognizable human attributes: competition, greed, and totalitarian punishment. Avoiding their own painful torture as well as a desire to dominate are what drive demons to torment their "patients."The style and unique dark humor of The Screwtape Letters are retained in this full-cast dramatization, as is the original setting of London during World War II. The story is carried by the senior demon Screwtape played magnificently by award-winning actor Andy Serkis ("Gollum" in Lord of the Rings) as he shares correspondence to his apprentice demon Wormwood. All 31 letters lead into dramatic scenes, set in either Hell or the real world with humans--aka "the patient," as the demons say--along with his circle of friends and family. This Radio Theatre release also stars Geoffrey Palmer (Tomorrow Never Dies), Laura Michelle Kelly (Sweeney Todd), Eileen Page (The Secret Garden), and other world-class actors.Includes 10 new songs inspired by the classic book, four behind-the-scenes video documentary featurettes, and a 5.1 surround sound mix.
