This volume is special to me because it was my late Father-in-law's and there are a tiny handful of underlined passages. I miss discussing books with him.
The Four Loves and The Screwtape Letters are so rich. I want to read them again. It's nice to see some of his famous quotes in context. This is also the 2nd time I've read The Screwtape Letters.
Reflections on the Psalms was a very good reminder of why sound theology, confessionalism, and the Means of Grace are so important. This book was just filled to overflowing with bad theology. Lewis himself admits that he's not a theologian and the are his own thoughts and they are so dangerously wrong.
Reading Lewis for philosophy is amazing, but doing read him for theology.

Each of these short works correspond to the others. Even if C.S. Lewis was perturbed by the calls for a sequel to Screwtape and the lack of angelic counterbalance, the compiler of this volume set juxtaposed it nicely with The Four Loves.
