Journal 14
Letter 14
1. According to Screwtape, virtues are less formidable to devils when they are known to the patient. Why is this?
2. What is the true nature of humility?
3. What is God’s goal for humility and all virtues?
4. What are your virtues and outstanding talents? How well do you “handle” them?
Letter 15
1. Screwtape believes that the “Enemy” wants humanity to have a double vision, focusing on both time and eternity. How is that
double focus a benefit to us?
2. In contrast to a focus on both eternity and the present, Screwtape wants to obscure both from our sight. How does a preoccupation
with the future do just that?
3. Screwtape makes the enigmatic statement that “nearly all vices are rooted in the future.” Explain what is wrong with “the future.”
4. What is it about the future that worries you?
5. In what ways can you discern concerns for the future that hinder your spiritual growth and hurt your heart?
