The Four Loves
The revered author's classic work that examines the four types of human love: affection, friendship, erotic love, and the love of God.In this work Lewis examines four varieties of love, as approached from the Greek language: storge, the most basic form; philia, the rarest and perhaps most insightful; eros, passionate love; and agape, the love of God, the greatest and least selfish. Throughout this compassionate and reasoned study, he encourages readers to open themselves to all forms of love--the key to understanding that brings us closer to God. "There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable . . . draw nearer to God, not be trying to avoid the sufferings inherent in all loves, but by accepting them and offering them to Him; throwing away all defensive armor. If our hearts need to be broken, and if He chooses this as the way in which they should break, so be it."In Four Loves, C. S. Lewis explores love to help youStrengthen your interpersonal relationshipsUnderstand the different between needed pleasures and appreciation pleasures and need-love and gift-loveCare for the people in your life, avoid pitfalls, and improve your relationship GodThe Four Loves holds a mirror to our current society and leaves no doubt that our modern understanding of love is heavily misunderstood.

The Gift of the Tithe
When people begin attending church or growing in faith, one of the biggest hurdles they face is giving. The idea of tithing can feel rigid, outdated, uncomfortable, or even impossible. But according to businessman and everyday believer Daniel Crain, tithing has never been about the math.

As he writes, "God doesn't need our money. He wants our trust." When we learn to give first, we step into the rhythm of grace that brings peace to our finances and freedom to our souls.This practical guide helps readers understand: Why the tithe still matters as a sign of faith in a grace-based lifeHow giving first can transform anxiety about money into confidence in God's careThe joy that comes when generosity becomes a way of being, not an obligationWritten in a clear, easy to understand style, The Gift of the Tithe offers a biblical vision of money that leads to contentment, trust, and joy. It's not about what God wants from us but about what God wants for us.
