Few people had a more profound effect on Christianity in the 20th century than G. K. Chesterton. The Everlasting Man, written in response to an anti-Christian history of humans penned by H.G. Wells, is considered Chesterton’s masterpiece. In it, he explains Christ’s place in history, asserting that the Christian myth carries more weight than other mythologies for one simple reason—it is the truth.

Brother Lawrence was a 17th century Christian who had a dramatic spiritual awakening at the age of 18. Seeing a tree in winter, his soul suddenly opened to the presence of God. Within six years he had entered a Carmelite monastery in Paris, where he worked chiefly in the kitchen, cooking and cleaning. He practiced a simple and natural method. He merely turned his attention to the Divine Presence available at all times during any activity. He reports that he was as fully present with God while washing dishes in the kitchen as he was when partaking of the sacrament in worship.

Set in the pre-Christian world of Glome on the outskirts of Greek civilization, it is a tale of two princesses: the beautiful Psyche, who is loved by the god of love himself, and Orual, Psyche's unattractive and embittered older sister, who loves Psyche with a destructive possessiveness. Her frustration and jealousy over Psyche's fate sets Orual on the troubled path of self-discovery. Lewis's last work of fiction, this is often considered his best by critics.

Escape the enemy's deadly trap! The Bait of Satan exposes one of the most deceptive snares Satan uses to get believers out of the will of God - offense.

"The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this." This is the key statement of Miracles, in which C.S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in His creation.

Most Christians know they should be trying to tell their friends and family about Jesus. But in a post-Christendom world, personal evangelism is viewed negatively - it's offensive, inappropriate, and insensitive. Recent studies confirm that the majority of Christians rarely evangelize, worried they might offend their family or lose their friends. Here, author Sam Chan equips everyday Christians who are reluctant and nervous to tell their friends about Jesus with practical, tested ways of sharing their faith in the least awkward ways possible.

As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In the first major biography of Bonhoeffer in 40 years, New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life - the theologian and the spy - to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity.

Publisher's Summary
On its first appearance, The Screwtape Letters was immediately recognized as a milestone in the history of popular theology. Now, in its 70th anniversary year, and having sold over half a million copies, it is an iconic classic on spiritual warfare and the power of the devil.
This profound and striking narrative takes the form of a series of letters from Screwtape, a devil high in the Infernal Civil Service, to his nephew Wormwood, a junior colleague engaged in his first mission on Earth trying to secure the damnation of a young man who has just become a Christian. Although the young man initially looks to be a willing victim, he changes his ways and is ‘lost’ to the young devil.
Dedicated to Lewis’ friend and colleague J.R.R. Tolkien, The Screwtape Letters is a timeless classic on spiritual warfare and the invisible realities which are part of our religious experience.

A sublime experience of wit and humour
Having read this classic some years ago, I mistakenly thought I knew what to expect. Was I ever wrong! I am completely blown away.
The combination of CS Lewis’ literary genius and the incredible artistry of Joss Ackland’s narration make for one of the most delightful audiobook experiences I have ever had. I am so glad I can listen to it again and again.
Truly wonderful. Do yourself a favour and don’t miss it.

A must read for those who believe in good vs evil
This started off as a rather uncomfortable story - one in which demons are the protagonists. As the book progressed, I found that my thinking was really challenged and I truly made some changes in my life. This book is a sneak peek into the enemies camp and has the potential to change you for the better if you let it.
A must read for any Christian or believer in good vs evil.

Relevant for 21st Century
Joss Ackland does a fantastic job as narrator. The resonating baritone was wonderful for his role. While the content is ageless, the speech at the end will resonate with the Woke Generation stewing in its own victimised, banging on about democracy and their rights, while denying them to any who should question their hypocrisy.

Very thought provoking
I think I'd need to listen a second time to understand it fully on a more profound but it was entertaining to listen to. It made me think about things in my own life and how the things Screwtape was saying were manipulation could apply to me. I would recommend it, however it's quite a dark book with no real respite. C.S Lewis says so himself in the end how you can feel smothered when reading the book. But definitely give it a go. Its short enough.

Joss Ackland is perfect as Screwtape
It would have been so easy for the narrator to fall into a creepy, or melodramatic persona. Joss Ackland makes Screwtape believable, disturbing and menacing. His characterisation added even more depth and complexity to this already penetrating book. Highly recommended.
