Book Review: The Four Loves by CS Lewis

Hello beloved readers of the CCF blog! I read this book and really wanted to share about it with all of you.


Let me begin by introducing one of my personal heroes, CS Lewis. There are few authors that are really awesome. CS Lewis is one of them. I am frequently saddened by the fact that he is no longer on this earth because I can’t meet him and he isn’t writing any more books.  He was born in England, somewhere. He was born in a Christian? home, but became an atheist through his school years. Then, he went to Oxford and realized that Jesus is awesome. For more on this, read another book of his entitled “Surprised by Joy.” (Fun fact! CS Lewis was buddies with JR Tolkien at Oxford)

His book The Four Loves introduces different kinds of love one at a time and contrasts them with other loves, and then explores both the ideal states of these loves and the ways they can be twisted. He mentions how each kind could become a sort of false god, and thus a demon, in our lives. I really encourage you all to read the book as it will be much more thorough and awesome than my attempt to summarize.
