About this listen

C.S. Lewis’s famous work on the nature of love divides love into four categories: Affection, Friendship, Eros and Charity. The first three are loves which come naturally to the human race.

Charity, however, the Gift-love of God, is divine in its source and expression, and without the sweetening grace of this supernatural love, the natural loves become distorted and even dangerous.

CS Lewis writes deeply on most subjects but I believe he has extra insight into the friendship love that few of us experience. He also seems to have fallen deeply in love with his wife and again has extra insight into the romantic love.

Insightful

I enjoyed the categorisation of love that C.S Lewis provided. It has given me a lot to think about and I believe that God will show me knew things with some of these thoughts in mind as I read scripture.

Great book about how Awsome Jesus is

I couldn't get past the initial religious onslaught. the author seems to think that God is the fundamental component of love.

love is not god
