Muckwhip's Guide to Capturing the Latter-Day Soul

by Chris Heimerdinger

In your hands is the clandestine correspondence of Muckwhip the Unmerciful, Viceroy of Vice, whose hyper-bureaucratic department in the Lower Realms is devoted exclusively to the destruction of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Muckwhip's infernal "h-mail" to his impish underlings are principally directed against Target 120-16A-44M (AKA, young Stuart Hansen) through his most challenging phases as a teenager, missionary, and husband in his daily struggles to emulate our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Will Muckwhip's Target survive? Find out while catching an

eye-popping glimpse into a world of unrestrained backstabbing and outrageous irony. In the grandiloquent tradition of Marlow, Milton, and Lewis, Muckwhip's Guide to Capturing the Latter-day Soul offers a unique perspective of the diabolical mind - providing readers with life-changing insights powerfully magnified by the enlightened backdrop of the Restored Gospel.

Reviews

[Mckenzie Baker]

This book is a modern version of C.S. Lewis's "The Screwtape Letters" where the devils minions are exchanging messages about how to win over the hearts of man. This book was very good and it pointed out lot of things that seem relatively obvious, but are things that one does not really think about so it inspired a lot of constructive thoughts. The one downside is it started to feel a bit repetitive, but that was the only negative thing that I notice. The language was sophisticate, but simple enough to understand, and the book was well thought out.

This book was interesting. It is the perspective of Satan's little devils that he employs. It is the ways that they try to take a man by the name of Mr. Hansen down. It is a good perspective of things that we are dealing with in this day and age.

The diction was entertaining.
The insight was irreplaceable.

I typically enjoy Chris Heimerdinger books. This is the one exception. This was such a cheap rip off of CS Lewis' Screwtape Letters. The only difference is that this book was geared towards Latter-Day Saints. Although Heimerdinger claims to have never read the Screwtape Letters, I find that hard to believe. This book should have never been written or published. What a waste of time!

A must read for every teenager and adult for that matter! This is an LDS version of screw tape letters for teenagers. I loved reading this with my teenagers. A must read for anyone wanting to really look at how the adversary and his helpers will tempt us and try to trip us up throughout our lives.

I enjoyed this book, was disappointed that the author never read "The Screwtape Letters". He could have made some great parallel situations that would have been delightful. I did mostly enjoy the parts that were similar to C S Lewis' book.

[Luna · Rating 2 out of 5]

Despite the author's claim to never having read the screwtape letters there where quite a few similarities in which C.S. Lewis proved to be the more poignant writer. Although it had its moments the extra silliness thrown in tended to detract from the potential for thought provocation.

I wanted to like this, but I had a hard getting it finish, so I gave myself permission to put it way for another time.

Witty dialogue.

[Tracy · Rating 2 out of 5]

I usually love this author, but this book was seriously hard to get through. I'll hope for better with his next one. I bought this because the ads likened it to the Screwtape Letters. Hardly.

[Silver - Have a great day, you're loved · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! Just... wow! I haven't read any of the other Chris Heimerdinger books (though his Tennis Shoes series comes highly recommended), so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was thoroughly engaged from start to finish, and really made me think. It also renewed my desire to read the Book of Mormon, so that was a nice benefit. I would recommend this to anyone, and I will definitely reread someday.
