Attended Sunday School from five years old though becoming a teenager. I am in my sixties now. What Ben had to say truly resonates with me. Much of what I learned as a young child that was prophesied to happen nearer to the end of times I see going on these days. These days I see the left working overtime working the devils deeds. The stuff going on these days I would have told you that you were crazy to think it would happen in my lifetime. Yet it is everywhere, and getting worse by the day. Man cannot live without God. I know I cannot.

You and Michael Knowles are posting a lot of “root cause” goodies lately! 
Basically everything Lewis wrote is pure gold if not downright prophetic. As people who have had troubles with demons in the past the Screwtape Letters are a tough read for my husband and I because Lewis nailed the evil in it so perfectly its unsettling.
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist".
That book said, "In those days, every secret thing will be as though shouted from the rooftops" . Social media is the modern equivalent of the rooftops.

Great summary, thank you Ben! I am highly considering joining your book club 
What Lewis wrote about the onset and consequences of public education in 'Screwtape Proposes a Toast' is uncannily prophetic.
10 ways the devil work in the world : 1- hyper focus on the real world while labeling spirituality as subjective. to be obsessed with the material world of the present. 2- directing the attention on the future rather than the present. validate sins of the present for the sake of the greater good in the future. 3- constant search for validation of emotions, as well as devlauing things based on emotions as well. 4- remove shame from sin. while bringing shame to faith and spiritual thoughts. 5- bringing depression to people to rob them of their will to resist evil. 6- falsify the past and claim that humanity changed with it's core nature, when in truth, it is still the same. 7- damage human relationships by any means to create weakness and dependency on toxic entities or institutions. 8- corrupting the meaning of love and turn it into carnal desires instead of loyalty, duty and responsibility. 9- diverting the focus toward invisible or uncertain people that are vaguely known to validate sins and evil and malice toward the actually known and confirmed individuals. 10- demanding that God's nature is explained in mortal or human ways, ultimately result in disputes and abandonment of God.
