The Four Loves

From the author of Mere Christianity, the greatest Christian thinker of our time explores what it means to love. What does it mean to love? Affection is the most familiar bond born of fondness and familiarity; friendship, our rarest and perhaps most insightful connection; eros, the embodiment of passion and desire. The most powerful of all is charity, the love of God, without which the others are easily corrupted – becoming bitter, selfish and even dangerous. C. S. Lewis names and explores these human sentiments in The Four Loves, one of his most famous works of non-fiction. With his characteristic warmth and lucidity, Lewis clarifies how the four loves work in our daily lives and how they can allow us to be closer to God.
