A remarkable audio edition of C.S. Lewis’ beloved classic - the only existing recording of Lewis reading his own work.
C.S. Lewis - the great British writer, scholar, theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics - explores the essence of love and how it works in our daily lives in one of his most famous works of nonfiction based on his series of radio talks from 1958.
With penetrating logic and charming wit, Lewis explores the four aspects of love: affection, the most basic form; friendship, the rarest and perhaps most insightful; Eros, passionate love; and charity, the greatest and least selfish.
Lewis exposes the pitfalls in our loves, leading us to the agape love that God has for humankind and the type of love we must develop to nurture our relationships. Throughout this compassionate and methodical study, he encourages readers to open themselves to all forms of love - the key to understanding that brings us closer to God.

"An insightful and entertaining book on love, even for a non-Christian reader. I love Lewis's casual tone, his humor, and his earnest request for humanity not to take itself too seriously. I also felt inspired by his conviction that though love exposes us to risk, it is worth one worth taking. My favorite quote from the book: "The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.""
