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 thought provoking
I think I'd need to listen a second time to understand it fully on a more profound but it was entertaining to listen to. It made me think about things in my own life and how the things Screwtape was saying were manipulation could apply to me. I would recommend it, however it's quite a dark book with no real respite. C.S Lewis says so himself in the end how you can feel smothered when reading the book. But definitely give it a go. Its short enough.

Joss Ackland is perfect as Screwtape
It would have been so easy for the narrator to fall into a creepy, or melodramatic persona. Joss Ackland makes Screwtape believable, disturbing and menacing. His characterisation added even more depth and complexity to this already penetrating book. Highly recommended.

Very well presented!
Reading it alongside the physical copy, I was captivated by Ackland's expressions and dramatising the characters. I was able to finish this book within 3 evenings, as it was difficult to put down!

Great Book but too heady sometimes for listening.
Definitely a very helpful book but because it is quite deep on occasion you want to stop and think but the narrator obviously keeps reading. Narration is excellent though.
