FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

We have no intention of explaining how this correspondence which we now offer to the public fell into our hands.

Inside you will find letters exchanged between the diabolical Madame Hoaxrot and her junior devil Hemlock, who are scheming against a young woman’s relationship with her Creator.

They plot to sabotage every feature of her life from sex to female friendship to empathy, motherhood, and aging.

Ladies, this book will give you the eyes to see the feminine vices that hide behind feminine virtues.

A wild ride and great insight to the temptations of a women

I bought this book mainly to get an idea of how a woman would tell the story of female temptation. I hoped for a behind-the-curtain look at my own wife’s struggles and how my daughter (age 2) might face similar challenges in the future.

My Dear Hemlock did not disappoint. Tilly Dillehay did an amazing job capturing the feel and style of C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters. The read was as insightful as I’d hoped and wildly engaging. I’ll be ordering more copies as gifts this Christmas.

Amazing Read!

I think every woman (married or unmarried) should read this book. SO insightful, Tilly does such a good job at pinpointing a lot of the struggles women struggle with.

My Dear Hemlock

This book offers a brilliant, modern take on 'The Screwtape Letters,' tailored specifically for women. Beautifully written and deeply thought-provoking, it compelled me to examine my own life. The author skillfully blends relatable scenarios with profound truths, creating a narrative that encourages both self-reflection and repentance. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was such a unique and powerful perspective on the struggles in a Christian woman's life.

Fantastic, convicting, encouraging

I was so blessed by this book. It was such a solid read that I bought a copy for each woman in my community group. I have thought back on it several times and have found it helpful to be more conscious of the spiritual battle that is always warring within us. My Dear Hemlock also reminds and encourages that those of us who are in Christ are being strengthened and sanctified; He will never let us out of His grasp.

I bought it for my wife and she loved it!

Since my wife and I was familiar with Screwtape letters by C.S. Lewis and found out that this was a spin off of that book, I decided to buy for my wife. At the outset she was already excited about the creativity of making a Screwtape letters type of book for women. Tilly Dillehay did not disappoint in making this book. I never saw my wife read a book so quickly, she just couldn't put it down. It was so good as a husband hearing about the things she was learning from the book. From a husband to another husband who may be thinking about buying this book for your wife, you will not regret your decision.

Phenomenal Book!

Absolutely loved this book! I wish I had ordered more, I’d gift them to all my Christian, female friends! Would recommend to anyone honestly, SUCH a good read! I love how Tilly reminds us of so many ways we’re subtly lured towards sin (and how we so often justify it to ourselves), but she also highlights the strong, glorious potential God put in us. You won’t get stuck feeling hopeless or irredeemable, as you’ll be reminded that God made us women with a wonderful purpose, and He’s there every step of the way, sanctifying us and using us for His great plan, despite the best efforts of the enemy!

Worth a serious read, Ladies

Tilly Dillehay has written a masterpiece every bit as worthwhile as Screwtape Letters. Focusing on the specific challenges facing women and how we are attacked differently, the book lays bare the excuses we make for the sins we commit.

Both delightfully witty and wonderfully convicting, true to C.S. Lewis form! An excellent gift book for female friends & relations with its classic & elegant look.

Not Lewis, but darn near close

I absolutely love Lewis’ Screwtape letters, so it was a hard sell to believe someone could fill those shoes. Tilly absolutely lives up to the hype though and makes your squirm from the moment you open the book.

The 2024 Bucky Irving of 2024 books geared toward Christian women in the tone of Brother Jack.

Brother Jack is a great song by Gable Price and Friends.
Brother Jack can also be a moniker for the big homie C.S.L.

In this book, you'll come across neither. But wait! Its great, dont worry.
Im feeling punchy right now due to the lack of sleep. Im lacking sleep due to the remodel im conducting. Im conducting a remodel to have a coastal home for my family. I have a family because God is gracious and saw fit to bless this rambling fool despite the ability to write traditional reviews.

Buy My Dear Hemlock. Do it! (Shia style)

In all honesty, this book is the best new book ive read since Crispins Rainy Day. Shout out to Forest! I dont know him, but it be a lot cooler if I did. (Mathew McConaughey)

Get this book, the color pallet and marketing is incredible, and the content is even better. Must have for the Holiday season.

Highly Recommend!

A wonderfully convicting book that lived up to high expectations! I was skeptical that the book would be as good as it was- and it far exceeded my hopes! I laughed, I cried, I cringed with conviction and prayerfully considered my own sinful tendencies with each chapter. A wonderful work that is much needed in the lives of Christian women today. Highly recommend!

Refreshingly informative

I know it’s technically a “ladies” book, but the preview gave me no choice but to buy it. Other than the female tendency to gossip, I can’t say I ever been explicitly taught how women struggle and sin. As a husband and father of a little girl, I believe this book has graciously given me an understanding of how to love the women in my life and understand how satan may be peeking into their loving hearts. It’s also just a fun read from such a witty perspective.
