catnip's review against another edition
5.0
I think every Christian should read this book.
It is a bit amusing at times, because it is satirical, but there is a need for deep discernment while reading this book. It's an interesting approach to reminding the readers on how the devil deceives through the seemingly trivial things.
Also tackles important subjects like war, sins, sexuality, false humility, etc.
"Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts..."

I had read bits and pieces of this over the years so I felt I should finish it.
There are a lot of inside jokes - if you know your theology, history and philosophy it will be funnier, but if you don't then a lot will go over your head.
The funny of course is a dry funny, not many laugh out loud funny.
So I feel my education is more complete but yet not sure I would recommend this to others.
