About this listen
On its first appearance, The Screwtape Letters was immediately recognized as a milestone in the history of popular theology. Now, in its 70th anniversary year, and having sold over half a million copies, it is an iconic classic on spiritual warfare and the power of the devil.
This profound and striking narrative takes the form of a series of letters from Screwtape, a devil high in the Infernal Civil Service, to his nephew Wormwood, a junior colleague engaged in his first mission on Earth trying to secure the damnation of a young man who has just become a Christian. Although the young man initially looks to be a willing victim, he changes his ways and is ‘lost’ to the young devil.
Dedicated to Lewis’ friend and colleague J.R.R. Tolkien, The Screwtape Letters is a timeless classic on spiritual warfare and the invisible realities which are part of our religious experience.

A sublime experience of wit and humour
Having read this classic some years ago, I mistakenly thought I knew what to expect. Was I ever wrong! I am completely blown away.
The combination of CS Lewis’ literary genius and the incredible artistry of Joss Ackland’s narration make for one of the most delightful audiobook experiences I have ever had. I am so glad I can listen to it again and again.
Truly wonderful. Do yourself a favour and don’t miss it.

A must read for those who believe in good vs evil
This started off as a rather uncomfortable story - one in which demons are the protagonists. As the book progressed, I found that my thinking was really challenged and I truly made some changes in my life. This book is a sneak peek into the enemies camp and has the potential to change you for the better if you let it.
A must read for any Christian or believer in good vs evil.

Relevant for 21st Century
Joss Ackland does a fantastic job as narrator. The resonating baritone was wonderful for his role. While the content is ageless, the speech at the end will resonate with the Woke Generation stewing in its own victimised, banging on about democracy and their rights, while denying them to any who should question their hypocrisy.

Very captivating
They chose the perfect voice and tone for the book to liven up the character. The story itself is really well done, easy to. Relate to because we live it.

This is a fantastically narrated audiobook. It illustrates very effectively how Lucifer tempts us as followers of Christ.

A beautiful masterpiece in it's simplicity
An amazing read. Very thought-provoking in the best sense of the word. Short chapters and simple language make it very easy to read/follow. An excellent job done by the reader too. I was immersed in it from start to finish. Will definitely listen to this book again before too long.

Incredibly thought provoking
Brilliant in its writing. C.S. Lewis, what a man, and what a mind that has such a way with words. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I’m sure anyone who reads or listens to it will too. At first I had trouble with the narrator but keep listening, you get a tuned to him.
