Letter 22 ......Finding Perfect Love


Screwtape begins this letter angrily, as the patient has found true love. The worst kind ever.

This girl is a Christian, a demure yet humorous, quiet, virginal, bread and butter Christian. The type that faints at the sight of blood, but dies with a smile.

Screwtape goes on to accuse God of being a hedonist (one who is centered on pleasure). Screwtape claims that fasting, vigils, stakes and crosses are a facade for what God really wants for us~which is pleasure.

Screwtape goes on to explain that everything has to be twisted before it can be used by them.

Here are some questions to discuss:
Describe the girl the patient falls in love with:

What does god really want for us?

Why does everything have to be twisted before the devil can use it?

Describe the women's family? Why do you think people change once they emerge from there?

What sounds do we hear in Heaven?

What sounds are heard in Hell and are filling the earth today?

Why is Screwtape transformed into a centipede?
