This pipe smoking gent changed my life.

I wholeheartedly recommend “The Great Divorce” if you haven’t read or listened to that yet.

God’s love never quits.

Many thanks for posting this. It surprised me by being relevant to a problem I had just found myself dealing with.

Lewis warns that while Storgē can be a source of comfort and belonging, it can become possessive or even oppressive if it’s not balanced by other forms of love, such as charity or friendship. He also notes that affection often comes with an element of "patience" and "forgiveness, " making it a form of love that can endure despite frustrations or annoyances.

This dude has a great voice. He’d be good on the radio I think.

Wow. As many of these recordings as you can find and post please!!!

[donblosser]

I tried to listen to this while reading the book (1960, Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich) but they are not the same. Occasionally the words of this recording can be seen in the book but only occasionally and briefly. Did Lewis write 2 different versions? What's going on here?

11:29 Storge is often assumed as a right, and often the party who has done nothing lovable….
I have lived this word for word. It’s terrible.

Is this C S Lewis speaking - or is it Edward Fox?
Does anybody know please?

Perhaps most people realized this and it was just me who didn’t…but it took me a while to realize that this isn’t him reading his book the four loves or talking about it. It’s just some of his ideas/essays. I think he maybe developed his book from these ideas later. It would be incredibly helpful if you noted in the description that this is not Lewis reading his book “the four loves”. He is reading/talking about some of his work on it and he developed his book “the four loves” from these ideas and what he is speaking about in the recording…but the two are clearly different. So if you listen to this audio, please note that even though they put the face of his book “the four loves” on it…it is in fact, not the book that he is reading at all. He adds quite a few ideas in this recording that aren’t in the book, and there are also some ideas in his book “the four loves” that he completely skips over in these recordings.
