Finding Faith Through Fiction Book Club will meet August 1
The next discussion will be on Monday, August 1 at 7 pm in the Undercroft. The group will discuss The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis.
The Screwtape Letters is a classic masterpiece of religious satire that entertains readers with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis's
The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation - and triumph over it - ever written.
The book is available through the Mid-Continent Library System. Please join us!
