The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis Doodle (I)

[@twelve535]

Wow, I got totally mind blown when the demon stated that he should not waste his time trying to get the patient to consider if materialism is true or not, but rather "strong", "courageous", etc. It bright me back to many atheists thinking high of themselves for having the "courage" to face "the truth". In fact one of their motto is that "weak" people like to believe in religion as it helps them cope with the harsh realities; this would in a non-deliberate way make them "strong". ......C.S Lewis the prophet....

[@jcevrzlyjulycordoviz1033]

A profound statement man! Good catch!

[@hughroberson]

I read the screw tape layers about 10 years ago when I was a staunch atheist and because I didn’t really have any humility, it didn’t make any sense to me and I didn’t retain any of it. Now that the almighty God has helped me to open my heart to him, just watching this first episode makes so much sense and I feel like so much truth is revealed in it. Thanks so much for making this and thanks to our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ ❤

[@Full_monty]

dude u have to finish this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bamsb90]

You deserve a handshake from Mr. Lewis himself! He'd be very proud; excellent work!

[@creeypiensa]

He deserves a hug also. :D. Oh why was I not born in the early 20th century.!? Why!? Why!?

[@honorablevessel]

C.S. Lewis was a genius, and your art makes his work truly come to life.

[@JulieBarneson]

I am completely blown away by what you've created here. Your drawings are incredibly helpful in understanding what C.S. Lewis was trying to communicate with us. I've read The Screwtape Letters several times & even taken notes to help me remember it because I think it is so insightful and powerful. It would have been so much easier for me if I'd seen your video first! Thank you so much for taking the time to illustrate parts of it & sharing your amazing talent with us. Your video is just amazing!!!

[@starrystarrynight9822]

Exactly. I am thinking of showing this to other members of my small group before they read the book. I've read it--it can be hard to wrap your head around it sometimes!

[@micahsnow346]

Dude! I just got totally mind-blown ... " the eagle and child" pub was where lewis, tolkien, and the other members of their Inklings club used to meet! I bet the artist did that on purpose!

[@YoBravaFrumAnuvaMuva]

Please make more of these: the Screwtape Letters! This was mind-blowingly easy to understand, as opposed to reading the book. What an incredible video!

[@rhlogic]

Simply Genius! This clip does not deserve 3,290 views. But 3,290,000! or more. Such is the condition of humanity. Such an easy prey of the evil one!

[@White0ni]

Love it! Please continue this series, it's absolutely terrific. Also, I quite like the approach you took, with Scewtape and Wormwood speaking directly to one another, rather than the whole thing being done through exchange of letters.

[@myJesusfilledshishilife95]

I can't believe I just found these now , they are brilliant!!!!

[@__.Sara.__]

I love that you put a bus and a bacon sandwich at the end when we go back to "real life!" Chef's kiss.

[@TofuTeo]

I learned so much from this and my soul benefitted. Thank you! Can't tell you how important your service is to the world.

[@pamelarenee8314]

Wow, this is pretty deep. My mind is blown like what, never really imagined the perspective of the ongoing battle. Lord, give us strength to keep enduring and spreading the gospel

[@Alexagnick]

This book probably saved my life

[@cdbwc]

C.s lewis would have enjoyed what you did to his works. Awesome job.

[@vivianqi870]

Thank you for spending the time to create this fabulous work. It is engaging such that I was completely immersed in the story and shocked by the fact how many times I had fallen in evils' traps.

[@tchristian04]

I couldn't help but notice the name of the pub, and had to express my appreciation in the subtleties

[@juliahart8593]

The touch about literal demons using the British Museum to their advantage is a very nice touch.

[@robertbilling6266]

Wonderful idea, thanks. It's more than 50 years since I first read the letters, and this gave them new life.

[@dougoverhoff7568]

Such an excellent teaching method, it really brings the text to life. Somehow I had missed reading the book all these years, but now find it to be a must read. Thank you so much.

[@timothytodd7659]

Simply remarkable!!! I'm attempting to read and understand Screwtape and all I can say is WOW!

[@SycrosD4]

My favorite book of all time. Bless you.

[@godaironin]

Amazing! These are excellent videos and a must watch! (Don't let yourself get distracted...)

[@lizjoy6936]

i hate reading the Screwtape letters bc we have to read it for school but our teacher told us to watch this and I am starting to enjoy the book more as a result 😂

[@CSLewisDoodle]

There are three more doodled Screwtape letters if you are keen.

[@iMattB]

I love this so much. And as a teacher of Lewis, a great tool!

[@martinchekuri]

Thank you, whoever made these doodles. Excellent work. Mr.Lewis would be very proud!

[@ajshim]

Absolutely love these videos. I read along with my copies with this. I do love the art style and how the you add in little Easter Eggs and typography that really helps the art.

[@jessepadilla5919]

By Peter Kirsanows' article in the NationalReview "My Dear Wormwood, on the Matter of ‘Equity’" He continues the conversations between Screwtape and Wormwood. Brilliant writing.

[@CSLewisDoodle]

Sounds like that passage in 'Screwtape Proposes a Toast' with a few updates: "Democracy is the word with which you must lead them by the nose. The good work which our philological experts have already done in the corruption of human language makes it unnecessary to warn you that they should never be allowed to give this word a clear and definable meaning. They won’t. It will never occur to them that Democracy is properly the name of a political system, even a system of voting, and that this has only the most remote and tenuous connection with what you are trying to sell them. Nor of course must they ever be allowed to raise Aristotle’s question: whether “democratic behaviour” means the behaviour that democracies like or the behaviour that will preserve a democracy. For if they did, it could hardly fail to occur to them that these need not be the same. You are to use the word purely as an incantation; if you like, purely for its selling power. It is a name they venerate. And of course it is connected with the political ideal that men should be equally treated. You then make a stealthy transition in their minds from this political ideal to a factual belief that all men ARE equal. Especially the man you are working on. As a result you can use the word Democracy to sanction in his thought the most degrading (and also the least enjoyable) of all human feelings. You can get him to practise, not only without shame but with a positive glow of self-approval, conduct which, if undefended by the magic word, would be universally derided. The feeling I mean is of course that which prompts a man to say I’m as good as you. The first and most obvious advantage is that you thus induce him to enthrone at the centre of his life a good, solid resounding lie. I don’t mean merely that his statement is false in fact, that he is no more equal to everyone he meets in kindness, honesty, and good sense than in height or waist-measurement. I mean that he does not believe it himself. No man who says I’m as good as you believes it. He would not say it if he did. The St. Bernard never says it to the toy dog, nor the scholar to the dunce, nor the employable to the bum, nor the pretty woman to the plain. The claim to equality, outside the strictly political field, is made only by those who feel themselves to be in some way inferior. What it expresses is precisely the itching, smarting, writhing awareness of an inferiority which the patient refuses to accept..."

[@mildredchester]

My favorite Lewis book!

[@criminaltotheworld3154]

Truly incredible, God bless you!

[@mavericksolo8055]

This is way awesome!

[@fooser77]

I'm imagining a film project on the theme of Screwtape Letters with a =$100+ million budget and a competent director / producer .. It would blow people away .. Then there is the space trilogy ..

[@GunFunZS]

Excellent work. Now I want a bacon sandwich!

[@barberuvdayear]

This was deeper than anyone can try and summarize this up to be... Have to share

[@__.Sara.__]

I love this! Thank you for making all of this C.S. Lewis content available! I'm a new Christian, new to C.S. Lewis, and a new subscriber! 6:19 "I struck instantly at the part of the man which I had best under my control, and suggested it was just about time he had some--- lunch."😂 You picked a great dramatization of this- that build-up was hilarious. The voice actors definitely understood the assignment 😂

[@SupermanSixString]

Amazing work, again. Thank you so much. Keep them coming!

[@weixu423]

Oh joy, a new video! There is no channel I anticipate uploads from more than this one, and you're getting even better! The potential is scary, keep it up :) …if you feel like it, I mean who am I to make demands?

[@Brndndutton]

[@tarowantanabe4354]

私にとって英語の本は読むのに時間がかかるので、とても助かります！Arigato!

[@Nomansland77]

Hey man, love your work, and really hope you continue to do more, of the screw tape letters. This part spoke really true to me when i was in high school, the doubts, the fears. And the peer pressure from my friends being that you can't really believe in this stuff in this day and age etc etc. Really hope to see more of your work man.

[@capten246]

Thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you so much

[@joeldawson8456]

Do you have part 2 and others? I can only find parts 1, 6, 7 and one other?

[@CSLewisDoodle]

Only those four parts managed. It's an quick introduction to the book really.

[@slaying348]

Very interesting. But I feel like we all distracted ourselves from things that question our world view. As an ex Christian I definitely did this with doubts I had about the church, and I'm sure in not past doing it now.

[@CSLewisDoodle]

“Just as the Christian has his moments when the clamour of this visible and audible world is so persistent and the whisper of the spiritual world so faint that faith and reason can hardly stick to their guns, so, as I well remember, the atheist too has his moments of shuddering misgiving, of an all but irresistible suspicion that old tales may after all be true, that something or someone from outside may at any moment break into his neat, explicable, mechanical universe. Believe in God and you will have to face hours when it seems *obvious* that this material world is the only reality: disbelieve in Him and you must face hours when this material world seems to shout at you that it is not all. No conviction, religious or irreligious, will, of itself, end once and for all this fifthcolumnist in the soul. Only the practice of Faith resulting in the habit of Faith will gradually do that.” (Lewis, Religion: Reality Or Substitute?) Could I get you to look at another Lewis doodle or two?

[@jgosch76]

These are really great! Thank you for making them. I happen to teach a Church Youth Group and I was wondering if you have all 31 letters? Is there a place I could make a donation or purchase the complete set? Thanks for all your hard work!

[@CSLewisDoodle]

I've only doodled four letters so far. Check out the video description for the purchase details of the book, audio book or audio dramatisation.

[@jgosch76]
