Four Loves (audio)
Overview
The remarkable audio edition of C.S. Lewis’ beloved classic is the only existing recording of Lewis reading his own work. With penetrating logic and winsome wit, he explores the four aspects of love: storge (affection), philia (friendship), eros (sexual love) and agape (selfless love). Lewis exposes the pitfalls in our loves, leading us to the agape love that God has for men and women and the kind we must develop to nurture our relationships. Discussion questions available in the audiobook companion PDF download. From The C.S. Lewis Media Collection, this historic audio product features the vintage BBC recordings of the voice of C.S. Lewis sharing his challenging insights on the nature of love.

Though this is a recording of Lewis, talking about four kinds of love, it isn't the text of his book, The Four Loves. Still fun to hear Lewis lecturing, though.
