This was required reading in my senior high school college prep English class, back in good old 1966/67. After I became a Christian in 1970 I finally 'got' it and am a huge fan of C.S. Lewis.

@@sofiarou7603 It's been so long ago I don't remember...I was 16 and a lot of it was way over my head as far as understanding is concerned.....when I was 20 I heard the gospel, accepted Christ as my Savior and I began reading and understanding the Bible. I discovered that Satan is like a roaring lion, going to and fro in the earth , seeking whom he may devour...he comes to kill, steal and destroy. And he has an army of helpers, fallen angels who rebelled against God and were kicked out of heaven. Satan is still permitted to go before God, in Heaven, where he is the accuser of the brethren. We are all either serving God or Satan, the god of this world.

Ch 8 of the book is my favorite chapter.... "Hence the prayers offered in states of dryness are those which please Him best." "Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys."

Yeah, sadly we're as susceptible to the suggestions of Satan and his hordes as any unbeliever. This is one of the reasons why we need each other to be able to speak into each other's lives - one of the most brilliant analogies in the Bible is the Church as being "the body of Christ," as when one part of the body malfunctions it requires the other parts of the body to "heal" (as directed by the Head).

Lewis said that it was a very easy book to write, but it nearly suffocated him. Once the idea of demonic letters occurred, it would be possible to write them indefinitely. However, because he was writing as a devil, he had to remove from them everything nice. Everything had to be grit and nastiness. There couldn't even be any humour.
