Screwtape Revisited - americanthinker.com
Excerpt from this article:
"Remember C.S. Lewis' great novel The Screwtape Letters? As a senior demon, Screwtape writes mentoring letters to his nephew instructing him in the ways of screwing up (pun intended) human beings. Uncle Screwtape writes calm, encouraging missives to poor Wormwood. Such tutoring must be trickier these days -- evil has come so far, and yet humans being still keep fighting back. The demonic board of directors must be grasping at tridents as time keeps getting shorter. Actually, I take demons seriously - so did Lewis, as it doesn't take an astronaut to get mentally high enough above the fray to see the patterns forming."
-------------------
The Screwtape Letters are good, and well worth reading. But for novels that (I believe) accurately portray the devils work in modern society, I recommend Frank Perretti's 2 books, This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness!
