Five stars!!! ![]() The Screwtape Letters: With Screwtape Proposes a Toast $24.99 My Dear Amazonians My diabolical letters having fallen into the hands of one of the Enemy's followers named Lewis they are being abused by the Enemy's camp for their own nefarious soteriological ends so for now perhaps Amazon is the way forward. My letters were directed to my nephew Wormwood a junior devil on a tempting assignment working on a new Christian. He ultimately failed yet it wasn't a total loss as Wormwood became a nice gastronomically satisfying quiche which I immensely enjoyed eating. I narrowly escaped becoming a souffle myself by telling numerous lies to my superior blaming a whole host of junior tempters. I don't know if he really believed me but I do know he relished snacking on those junior mints as I spun my yarn to him. Still Wormwood could have had his man because men are fools and when they realize this is when they begin to approach the Enemy's camp in earnest. Our job is to make them believe they are truly fine fellows in fact maybe a little better than their neighbor a little superior than the rest and then the slide towards our fathers camp is all but assured. What the Enemy calls pride we call shrimp on the barbie. I tried to give Wormwood useful counsel on this in my letters: "Your patient has become humble; have you drawn his attention to the fact? All virtues are less formidable to us once the man is aware that he has them, but this is specially true of humility. Catch him at the moment when he is really poor in spirit and smuggle into his mind the gratifying reflection, "By jove! I'm being humble", and almost immediately pride--pride at his own humility--will appear. If he awakes to the danger and tries to smother this new form of pride, make him proud of his attempt--and so on, through as many stages as you please. But don't try this too long, for fear you awake his sense of humour and proportion, in which case he will merely laugh at you and go to bed. ... You must therefore conceal from the patient the true end of Humility. Let him think of it not as self-forgetfulness but as a certain kind of opinion (namely, a low opinion) of his own talents and character. ... He (the Enemy) wants to kill their animal self-love as soon as possible; but it is His long-term policy, I fear, to restore to them a new kind of self-love--a charity and gratitude for all selves, including their own; when they have really learned to love their neighbors as themselves, they will be allowed to love themselves as their neighbors. For we must never forget what is the most repellent and inexplicable trait in our Enemy; He really loves the hairless bipeds He has created and always gives back to them with His right hand what He has taken away with His left." It is with gems such as these that I filled my letters to Wormwood yet the bumbler still lost the prize for my fathers kingdom and his patient made it safely into the Enemy camp. Legions of Devils, Thorns, and Shadies are plying our trade today and we are positively on the march winning victories for the kingdom below as people turn to self and turn away from the face of the Enemy.
