The Four Loves

The Four Loves is where I became aware that not every time in the Bible the word "love" is written in English did not necessarily mean what we all consider "love" is what is referred to . The Four Loves; Storge, Philia, Eros, & Agape (all Greek translations of the word "love") are taught in this book by Lewis. The chapter on Agape is so powerful, poetic and exceptionally beautiful. Agape, the love between our Creator and ourselves is well written and majestic, it is something that every time I read it or hear the words spoken I cannot help but cry tears of joy. I use quotes from the chapter on Agape often to explain to other people the love God has for all of us. Also, I, honestly, believe with all my heart, that it is a small book that should very much should be offered to the younger generations before starting their years of dating and going through the process of finding their life-mates and getting married. Everyone should know clearly that the idea of marriage is not just the couple of man & wife or partner & partner. Marriage is a small picture of the tri-head of representation of the Trinity. Father, Son & Holy Spirit. Between partner & partner, Christ should be between them; forming the small picture of the Trinity. Wondrous book; incredible teaching on the subject of the differences in all four loves.

So rich and eye opening. I had to slow it down to 85%. the vocabulary is of the highest level. Enchanting.
