The Screwtape Texts: A Devil’s Dialogue with His Temper in Training by Deacon Timothy J. Stevenson
The Screwtape Texts: A Devil’s Dialogue with His Tempter in Training make The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis accessible to a whole new generation of readers.
In this book and study, Lewis’ classic work has been reimagined in text-message format as a dialogue between a senior demon and his student.
Wormwood, the tempter in training, makes comments and asks Screwtape questions, which sometimes get him into trouble. His questions bring additional clarity to the reader, who is not meant to see the strategies and tactics used by the devil against them.
This translation expands the scope of weapons used against the “human vermin” to include things like smartphones and other distractions.
Each series of text messages (letters):

Meet Austin & Cheyenne – Catholic Foundation – Green Bay, WI
This year for the Bishop’s Appeal, there are some additional stories about people impacted by diocesan ministries supported by the Appeal. One of the stories is on Austin and Cheyenne, a couple from St. John Nepomucene who was supported during their marriage preparation.
Prior to marriage preparation, Cheyenne and Austin did not attend Mass frequently. They both were raised Catholic and cared about their faith, but it wasn’t the top priority amidst all the wedding planning. From working on a guest list, to making flower arrangements, going through marriage preparation was another item on their “Wedding To-Do List.”
However, their marriage preparation at St. John Nepomucene Catholic Community in Little Chute changed how they view the importance and sanctity of the Mass and marriage itself.
Because of your gift to the Bishop’s Appeal, the diocesan Office of Marriage and Family Life provides resources and support for parishes as they walk with engaged couples on their marriage-preparation journey. These resources have inspired hundreds of couples in our Diocese, including Austin and Cheyenne, to place their faith at the center of their relationship.
