Book Reviews of The Four Loves
Book Review: Comes full-circle in a beautiful and penetrating way
Summary: 5 Stars
By splitting human love into four basic categories, C.S. Lewis creates a stunning and convincing commentary on our existence. Throughout the text, the question "Which love is closest to God's love?" is strung. Lewis does an amazing job at answering this question, and the book comes full-circle in the end and proves that "to love is to be vulnerable". The Four Loves digresses quite far from where C.S. Lewis normally writes. Discussions include detailed definitions and explications of the Greek gods and how they relate to our lives. Still, this book is 100% Lewis. An essential book for the "thinker types", and a must for any fan of C.S. Lewis.Book Review: Great book!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I hope more people would read this book.
As we live in time of extreme feminism, some people don't get the idea of harmonious relationships between two sexes [no homosexuals included. sorry ;) ]. Lewis lays out the case for explaining four types of relations (relationships) between people, and people and objects.
I think he makes great success. :D
I am agree for the most part.
Yes, we as society went long way away from where we are intended to be, to where we are now. Sadly, I think it is irreversible now. But, there are great authors and books still out there. This is one among them.
RECOMMENDED! with all of my heart. ;)
Book Review: Amazing for all ages
Summary: 5 Stars
This book truly grips the truth of love and helps people put relationship love and God's love into perspective. I am a teenager who was taken away by Lewis' great work. Any age male or female will be absorbed and grow in wisdom. The book has helped me make decisions that will benefit my future for the better and I am extremely happy to have the chance to read such a great work from an author as talanted as CS Lewis.Book Review: Timeless reading
Summary: 5 Stars
Lewis's book on Love is one of the most insightful and helpful books I've ever read. His intellect is impressive, his theology flawless; so much so that one cannot help but benefit from reading this book... or practically any of his other works, of which there are quite a few. It's really a shame that men like this have to pass on the next life, isn't it?Book Review: A Must Read
Summary: 5 Stars
It Is One of those books that should be sitting on a coffee table. It defines the various types of pure love: agape, venus, and storge to name some. It truly defines where the 'heart' is and perhaps defining the brotherly love, the parental love, or the true love...
