Screwtape 26-28

Chapter 26

'She's the sort of woman who lives for others - you can always tell the others by their hunted expressions.'

Chapter 27

If the thing he prays for doesn't happen, then that is one more proof that petitionary prayers don't work;

if it does happen, he will, of course, be able to see some of the physical causes which led up to it, and

'therefore it would have happened anyway'.

 

Chapter 28

Prosperity knits a man to the World. He feels that he is 'finding his place in it', while really it is finding its place

him.
