C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters in Everyday English: An easy to read version of a C.S. Lewis classic. (CHRISTIAN CLASSICS IN EVERYDAY ENGLISH)

C.S. Lewis' classic book, The Screwtape Letters in Everyday English.

When I read Mere Christianity for the first time, I was left wondering if the average North American reader would be able to follow along without having an English-to-‘English’ dictionary at their side. Even I had to Google the meaning of some of Lewis’ 1940’s colloquialisms. Lewis himself makes reference to the changes in language and word usage over time. This led me to rework his book into Mere Christianity in Everyday English. Never did I expect such a positive response to my efforts, with a seventy-nine percent five-star rating on Amazon. This success has led me to tackle The Screwtape Letters which Lewis had written in the year before Mere Christianity. It is hoped that The Screwtape Letters in Everyday English will likewise enable it to be enjoyed by a broader audience.

Clive Staples Lewis was a Professor of English at Oxford University and authored many famous novels including The Chronicles of Narnia and The Problem of Pain. The most recent estimate for sales of his books is more than 200 million copies.
