At first I liked the evidence of demonic infighting as an example of evil will oft evil mar Slubgrip flatters a fellow demon in one letter, then derides their character when writing to others , but the amount of demonic politicking is such that it consumes a third of the book.

It became more distracting than helpful, though others have found it funny. Subtle manipulation is the name of the game: The target will be so ashamed of themselves they may literally repent and start avoiding avenues of temptation. Slow and steady is the goal — erode the connections people make between their lives and what is taught, then tempt them.

The Gargoyle Code

The best of worlds is a subject who goes to church faithfully, but has religion so compartmentalized in his mind that it only exists on Sundays; otherwise he follows his every whim, and is forever guarded against any soul-searching by the comforting notion that he goes to church, so of course he's OK. While it doesn't eclipse The Screwtape Letters , Code was written as book to read during Lent, each letter or 'text' being spaced out among the forty days, and so is perfect for that season.

An interesting and amusing book written in the style of the Screwtape Letters, but with a more modern twist. Meet Slubgrip, a particularly foul and conniving demon training a young demon as they try to tempt Catholics from their faith. But, the youngster doesn't need a lot of training to be foul and conniving himself and Slubgrip soon realizes that he had better watch his back.

Follow along as the advice Slubgrip becomes uncomfortably familiar.

His advice is simply how to use our vices and weaknesses against us. It's a great reminder that we need to discard these weaknesses and, instead, to trust in God. This book is interesting to read during Lent and is, in fact, set up to read a "letter" each day starting wth Ash Wednesday, through Easter Sundy.

Mar 12, Valerie Giggie rated it it was amazing. In the tradition of "The Screwtape Letters" by C.

Lewis, "The Gargoyle Code" is a record of correspondence among the devil's tempters. In this book, however, the correspondence is not just advice from a master to a novice but also among tempters, revealing infighting and political maneuvering. This adds to the entertainment of the work. The book is written to read one letter a day during Lent. However, I couldn't wait to find out how it ended, so I finished it before Easter! It is fascinating to consider our lives from the other side--how events in our lives can be used by evil spirits to hinder or completely reverse our growth in faith and holiness.

I highly recommend this book. Read it any time of the year! Apr 02, Rich rated it liked it.

Following in the footsteps of C. Longenecker writes another tale of a senior demon advising an up and coming tempter. Writing from a specifically Catholic orientation, this new volume includes more modern references like email and Internet pornography and specifically Catholic topics, like the various forms of Mass, sacraments, and religious vocations. Oct 20, Anita rated it liked it Shelves: There is unfortunately no way this is equal to the Screwtape Letters, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it.

I thought most of the ideas presented in this book nice enough, although maybe a bit shallow and relying on stereotypes at times.

I liked how the depiction of competition between the demons was made clear. Feb 22, Helen rated it it was amazing Shelves: This is meant to be a day by day Lenten read, but I really don't think anyone could make it last for 40 days. I couldn't stop once I'd started reading it. It is very insightful, but also very entertaining.

If you've ever had a hard time examining your conscience before confession, this is the book for you! We ignore the spiritual realm at our own peril. If you bring a lvl 3 Rogue you can find a secret tomb or something that also mentions the letter. The third is in the Highlands in Mc Rea's Castle, a lvl 3 Archaeologist can find a hidden Family Tree which mentions the 3rd letter as well 4: Forth is on the Emerged Island, there is some kind of equipment hut on the island and if you bring a lvl 5 Athlete there you can pull the slab up to find the secret letter on it.

In Shangri-La you can find a Meditation Monk in a secret garden that you can talk to for Diplomacy check, strike the gong and you might hear the letter mentioned in the echo.

That fat man, who has lied and cheated his way to the top, parades down to get his ashes like an innocent child. We know about the affairs when she was young. We know about the abortions, the betrayals and the manipulation of men with her sex appeal. Then she minces forward in her little high heels and plays the penitent!

None of them really mean it. They only do it to show off and make themselves feel better. Even worse is the fact that the enemy encourages their pathetic little play. He actually seems to like it when they grovel and apologize all the time.
