(Re-Post) 200 Seconds in Hell with C.S. Lewis Episode 4

Sunday Mar 01, 2020

IN THIS REPEAT: The forth episode of my short-term series that encourages you to read The Screwtape Letters.

Do words matter? Of course they do! That's why Screwtape tells Wormwood to either suggest more negative sounding terms or expressions that people associate with things they don't like. Words like "complacency," "unselfishness" and "Puritanical" are help for Hell's purposes. In this four episode of "200 Seconds in Hell with C.S. Lewis" you'll be reminded about some of the ways the devils try to twist words to make it a weapon for their gain.

2017 is the 75th anniversary of when The Screwtape Letters was first published. So, why not read it again! And consider getting my enhanced study guide to help you enjoy it even more. Get a free 20 page PDF sample of my book via ScrewtapeCompanion.com.

IN THIS REPEAT: A reminder of my 3rd episode of "200 Seconds in Hell" that is about humility.

Practicing humility can be a very humbling experience, one that might just lead to pride!

Lewis" you'll be reminded about some of the ways the devils try to twist humility to make it a weapon for their gain.

Wednesday Jan 02, 2019

IN THIS REPEAT: The 5th episode of 200 Seconds series to encourage you to read The Screwtape Letters.

Democracy is a very important word here on Earth and in Hell. So much so, that the devils want to create confusion about what the word actually means. That's why their philological department is hard at work to keep the real meaning out of our minds. When you listen to the fifth episode of "200 Seconds in Hell with C.S. Lewis" you'll learn some of what Screwtape thinks about how the practical meaning of democracy can be twisted.
