Screwtape Proposes a Toast

The only official sequel, penned by Lewis himself, to the ever-popular ‘Screwtape Letters’ – published alongside other short essays. One of the most popular books ever to come from the pen of C.S. Lewis was written in the name of Screwtape, a senior devil, experienced in the art of luring his ‘patients’ on earth to their own damnation in service of ‘our father below’ – and training others to do the same. Screwtape’s correspondence with his nephew, an apprentice devil, came into Lewis’s hands, he said, by a route he would not disclose, and many a reader has finished the collection longing for more of the insights they gained from its wisdom. Much to Lewis’s resistance, this after-dinner speech, given by Screwtape to a graduating class of demons at a college in hell, came to light a few years after the publication of the original letters. Now 75 years later, the speech is reproduced in full once more, along with a short collection of Lewis’s other lesser-known, but perennial works. Many people will have forgotten about the only official ‘sequel’ that exists to Screwtape; the 75th anniversary of Screwtape’s publication is the perfect opportunity to bring this back. The Screwtape Proposes a Toast by C.S. Lewis, the bestselling author, is a living testament to his prowess in the realm of Christian literature. It's no wonder that this sequel has been a bestseller, captivating readers with its unique perspective on religion. For fans of Lee Strobel (Seeing the Supernatural), John Mark Comer (God Has a Name), Timothy Keller (Preaching), Stephen C. Meyer (Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design), and Alan Vermilye (The Practice of the Presence of God).
