The Screwtape Letters RmT Series
Before I begin sharing what Iāve learned so far, Iād like to give a brief background about why I got into reading the bookĀ āThe Screwtape Lettersā by C.S. Lewis.Ā
Weāre all still in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic and the last 6 months has been an emotional/mental rollercoaster for most people including me. Things are so difficult nowadays but getting to live comfortably in this time is more than a blessing so I donāt have the guts to complain as I know so many people are suffering and not being able to provide for their day to day needs. Because of that, I felt like I donāt have the right to feel bad because a lot of people are into much harder situations than me and that started to eat me up and is still eating me up until today.Ā
I feel like I can not express how mentally and emotionally hurt I am and itās just crazy! I swear! Itās been up and down - an UNDULATION (a term I learned from the novel which I will eventually share later on), a never-ending cycle even when it comes to my spiritual life. Been trying so hard to find meaning, answers, healing or sometimes I just donāt know what I am searching for.
I came across C.S. Lewis while browsing through books on the internet and was attracted to read his bookĀ āThe Problem of Painā. I ordered the entire set and something in me just ticked and chose to read The Screwtape Letters instead the moment I received the entire set and I feel like it was such a good call. To some, they found this book humorous but to me, it was a very awakening book. Reading the first Letter from the book just felt so real and heavy and made me realize so many things which I cannot wait to share with you soon!!
Iām currently on my 13th letter but I really wanted to deal with the letters one by one because there is just so many learnings to pick-up from each letter. If you can, go pick-up the book and Iād be so happy to share this journey with you!
