The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
4.0
"The Present is the point at which time meets eternity"
I suprised myself by enjoying this book.
I expected it to be purely satirical, I did not expect it to be so thought provoking.
It talked about the differences between actual faith and the faked prideful kind.
It spoke of the misguided beliefs of some religious people
"Without that the
variety of usage within the Church of England might have become a posetive hotbed of charity and humility"
"Men or nations who think they can revive the Faith in order to make a good society might just as well think thay can use the stairs of heaven as a shortcut to the nearest chemist's shop"
It also spoke of struggles that everyone faces, religious or otherwise
"Men are not angered ny mere misfortune, but by misfortune conceived as injury"
It's description of the "all I want" state of mind is most likely something a lot of us are guilty of in varying degrees and I could easily see how it could progress.
