The Withertongue Emails: A Pastor's Satanic Temptation, with Apologies to C.S. Lewis

by Donavon Riley

Inspired by C.S. Lewis' classic work, The Screwtape Letters, The Withertongue Emails encourage readers in the twenty-first century to take seriously once again the dangers of ignoring the demonic and assuming that, because we are Christians, we cannot be tempted into sin and unbelief. In this work, Donavon Riley leads the reader through a young pastor's demonic temptation, seeming downfall, and final conversion to faith in Christ Jesus alone for his redemption and salvation.

Short, but lots to chew on. All the letters are only about a paragraph long, so it's easy to process this in small bite-sized chunks. But read in succession, the letters also work together in a progression. Written specifically from the perspective of a demon tempting a pastor, so it has much to say not just about an atheist converting to Christianity, but a Christian in ministry struggling with temptation.

Inspired by The Screwtape Letters.
