Go over J12.
Carry on with Journal 13:
Letter 12
1. Why is it valuable for Wormwood to encourage church attendance, despite its spiritual snares?
2. How is it that Wormwood can combine spiritual degeneration and spiritual inclination into snares and roadblocks to spiritual
growth?
Letter 13
1. Wormwood’s patient did “wake up” from his spiritual drift and, for the time being, slipped through his fingers. Identify at least two other ways in which pleasure can be a divine aid and a devilish snare.
2. What is the difference between the detachment of self that God seeks and the detachment from reality that the devils seek?
3. Why would Screwtape want to eradicate small pleasures?
4. What pleasures and pastimes do you find spiritually nourishing? How can you see these relating to Screwtapes strategies or challenges?
