Chapters 1-2 Questions

1. Note the simple dedication. If you were to write a "spiritual" book, who would you dedicate it to?

  • If I were to write a "spiritual" book I would probably dedicate it to my brother. I would want him to read through the book and really take it to heart. He is an important person in my life and I know that reading a "spiritual" book would be very beneficial to him.
2. What do you think about the following quote? "The Enemy allows this disappointment to occur on the threshold of every human endeavour."
  • I think that Screwtape is referring to God and how humans are often met with doubts and worry as we commit ourselves to new things. The following quote: "it marks the transition from dreaming aspiration to laborious doing," means that the "disappointment" Screwtape is talking about occurs when a human moves from just thinking about something to actually doing it. Doubts and worry may come along when one practices something new and different. God does this so that we need to put our trust in Him in order to overcome the difficulties we face.
