: No, they are excellent. Screwtape is a devil who is writing letters of advice to his "nephew", Wormwood. Wormwood is a junior devil who has been assigned to a human to tempt him throughout his life. It's a roundabout way of giving advice on Christian living. Very interesting.

I haven't read that one. My wife started on it, but found it difficult because in exposing the thinking behind temptation, she found herself starting to think the way the devil did. So she stopped. Reminds me of the quote about Saruman (from shaky memory) "It is dangerous to study too deeply the arts of the enemy." It can be dangerous, but can be profitable. My 2¢ worth.
