Description
C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, Mere Christianity and many other books, delves into the topic of love. He talks about the four types of love - affection, friendship, Eros, and charity - what each of them means and the relationship of each to God and to those around us. This is a complicated topic that C. S. Lewis tries to sort out and help us make sense of. Learn the difference in the types of love and which is most like the love of God. This is for older readers, as it discusses homosexuality and sexuality within the friendship and Eros loves. 141 pgs. p/b. ~ Donna
Publisher's Description of Four Loves
"We need others physically, emotionally, intellectually; we need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves." We hear often that love is patient and kind, not envious or prideful. We hear that human love is a reflection of divine love. We hear that God is love. But how do we understand its work in our lives, its perils and rewards? Here, the incomparable C. S. Lewis examines human love in four forms: affection, the most basic, general, and emotive; friendship, the most rare, least jealous, and, in being freely chosen, perhaps the most profound; Eros, passionate love that can run counter to happiness and poses real danger; charity, the greatest, most spiritual, and least selfish. Proper love is a risk, but to bar oneself from it--to deny love--is a damning choice. Love is a need and a gift; love brings joy and laughter. We must seek to be awakened and so to find an Appreciative love through which "all things are possible." "The Four Loves deserves to become a minor classic as a modern mirror of our souls, a mirror of the virtues and failings of human loving." New York Times Book Review
