Using Lewis's own voice makes this graphic even more amazing. Thank you!

[@tadimaggio]

It has been my experience (age 65 speaking) that an incapacity to love in any one of the four ways generally means an incapacity to love in ALL four ways. I am a Christian, and I consider it to be an illustration of God's grace to me that the fact that I grew up in a TOTALLY loveless house (it was NEVER a home) did not scar me to the point of rendering me incapable of philia, eros or agape. I no longer have a family of any kind -- I never married or had children -- other than a bottomlessly sweet lady of 92 whom I call my "mother-in-love", because, for thirty-five years, she has been everything to me that a mother would or could have been. My stepmother, now deceased, was the same, even though she didn't enter my life until I was twenty-nine. I share Lewis' view that agape is the form of love in which our divine spark is the most evident. I try to nurture it by watching people in public places like coffee shops -- a mother's awed delight as she plays with her baby, a little girl throwing her arms around her father's neck, two lovers teasing and laughing with one another -- and letting myself rejoice in their happiness. I firmly believe that, as long as you can take pleasure in the sight of other people's joy, you are not a lost soul.

The Four Loves allowed me to see God again. I will never forget how this book changed my mind and helped me to understand Christianity and Love in a deeper way.

[@ericsievert9079]

Well done! This is like a chiropractic adjustment for the soul.

[@straightforward]

It does feel that way!! :D

[@desdichado92]

I am stealing this turn of phrase. I hope you don't mind.

[@MillennialMidwest]

As a visual leaner, combining Lewis’ audio teaching with your visual creations have helped me grasp the 4 loves so much better. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@HoldFastApolpgetics]

It’s powerful how Lewis addresses “goodness”…(8:00-10:00) humanly defined vs spiritually. These videos are wonderful! Great work! Thank you!!

[@calvinjluther]

So that's what C.S. Lewis sounds like.

[@jasonbelstone3427]

We even got a bit of his humor too.

[@w1ckedn0nsense34]

Your channel is my favorite on KZbin, I love C.S. Lewis but I have such a problem with reading comprehension. I wouldn't be able to appreciate this fully without your amazing artwork, thank you!

[@chase86903]

Thank you, read the book and there were definitely some parts of it I didn’t fully grasp so this video helped fill in the missing pieces!

[@kennethcfogarty]

Absolutely Wonderful Post !! Congratulations! AMEN

[@allanlindsay8369]

Thank you so,so, much for this and of course it's the great man's very own voice.

[@alyssanolan1664]

Had so much trouble listening to the audio of this book and even reading the book. I didnt understand it much. I decided to give this video a try and man did it work! Thank you so much! This helped me really understand exactly what Lewis was saying. It kept me awake too which I was struggling with while reading the book and listening to the audio on its on! THANK YOU

[@Daniel_Grgic]

This is such an amazing video! I can’t believe we still have Lewis’ radio broadcasts. Your illustrations along side the narration make it that much better!

[@melaniechu2120]

Just recently discovered this channel. Quickly it is become a favorite. Better late than never. Thank you for sharing Lewis and your talents with us. I believe he would approve🙂

[@stephenjohnson3163]

The visual aids definitely helped in deciphering what C.S Lewis said. Thank you, to the maker of this video, in helping to make it understandable for the simpletons (ME) of the world.

[@inthenameofjustice8811]

Wonderful. The drawings really bring the text alive.

[@b_740]

Wowww this is so eye opening....I'm 20 and I feel really uninformed about life now..

[@joshuagobrogge7765]

Finally !!!!! I've waited since I found this channel for you to do one from The Four Loves. I fell in love with Lewis through that book.

[@JM-sx1rp]

Beautiful from beginning to end. Wow.

[@T-She-Go]

I- wow😢 I think my big take away is that this love, and the other type of love, aren’t love at all unless they submit to God. That’s so cool 🙌🏾

[@robinjames7211]

Thank you this great programme. It gets us right into Jack's talks and help with those great illustrations.God bless you.

[@blackshadowsnoopy]

Perfect for Mothers day. Thank you for sharing :)

This was amazing. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to listening to the other loves. I agree with @crystal Hurd using Lewis's voice add much more feeling to the doodling. God Bless

[@a.m.e.]

I feel storge, philia and agape towards you. I was hoping the four loves would be your next project. Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks mate! Isn't Lewis' understanding amazing?

I love the color coding of the 4 loves

[@amacnaughton85]

Is this Lewis's voice reading it?? I've been reading him for almost 30 years, never before heard his voice 😀

[@CSLewisDoodle]

Sure is.

[@jlee7486]

Thank you so much for this video. The four loves is one of my favorite books by C. S. Lewis. Not that you need recommendations, for you do so well, might I suggest a video on Chapter 9 of Miracles : "A chapter not strictly necessary"

[@chanman201]

Going through a divorce right now. This is helpful for me to understand what happened in my marriage.

[@CSLewisDoodle]

Hey, I don't know if this would help at all...but I have put together a presentation on divorce in cases of abuse and neglect in the New Testament (photographed in miniature toys as Facebook albums).

Does anyone know if this word is commonly used in the Greek language? And how prevalent was it in Ancient Greek?

Here is the word frequency of storge in classical Greek: www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/wordfreq?lang=greek&lookup=storge%2Fw

[@CSLewisDoodle]

"But if she could have looked a little further back, into the stillness and the darkness before Time dawned, she would have read there a different incantation. She would have known that when a willing victim who has committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack an Death itself would start working backwards."

[@KnutNukem]

Dead on.

[@gabrielvinodkumardolla8232]

[@rubenc4696]

I was one of the "debunkers" the book is referring to. Love is subjective, relative to an individual -- an illusion. For it objectively does not exist in the naturalistic worldview.
