Shoot, I started to read my copy of Screwtape and got so discouraged that I quit. Seriously, it made me feel like we are screwed because so many people are moving away from God, or even the concept of judgment and the reality of heaven and hell. Maybe that's the greatest triumph of the Left- that we are our own God, and anything else is just a fairy tale. Thanks for posting this essay, John, time for me to give the "Letters" another try, because I might be getting duped myself by those tricks....

My mama (the wife of a Methodist Preacher) introduced me to C.S. Lewis and, in particular, to The Screwtape Letters when I was almost 20 years old. Daddy agreed that It was time for me to learn about reverse psychology. They're both enjoying the paradise that is Heaven and learning the answers to all the questions we wrestle with daily. Thanks for this shareable post.
