Book Club

I just got back from our bookclub--the book--The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis was great...wonderful discussion. I've read it three times. The book is a series of letters from Screwtape, a high-level devil (from the 'lowerarchy' of Hell) to his nephew, Wormwood, who has just been assigned a 'patient' or human to tempt and drag down to damnation...by keeping him from the Enemy (God).

So much of it relates to our lives..and you learn so much about the other members.. Such a nice GNO....Girls Night Out. Delicious goodies, too.

Actually, this is kind of a church calling..I teach in the Relief Society and was asked by the president to also form a bookclub for enrichment night. I was asked to put together a list for our ward, so I chose from the classics.
