Bishop Sheen discusses the radical transformation of love from the Catholic perspective which has helped change the world as we know it. He embarks on a series of exquisite meditations on love – its nature, power and relevance for modern man.

Written with his usual clarity and brilliance, this work gets right to the heart of the matter, presenting penetrating insights into the various aspects of love in such a way that the reader is stirred to a deeper realization of the crucial role love must play in his everyday life.

It explores the nature of love, drawing on theological and psychological insights to show how divine and human love provide true happiness, heal brokenness, and connect us with God, the source of love.

The book breaks down the complexities of human emotion, focusing on several key concepts:

• The Divine Source: Sheen distinguishes between natural affection and the true, sacrificial love of God (agape), emphasizing that ultimate peace comes from surrendering to this divine foundation.
• Healing and Redemption: He frequently highlights that no heart is too cold for love to warm, and no grief or sin is too great for love to pardon and cure.
• The Levels of Love: The book categorizes different expressions of love—from eros (passion and human attraction) to devotion and spiritual union.

“Again and again, Sheen returns to a single insight: that the miseries of modern life— loneliness, restlessness, the cult of self—are not accidental. They are the result of a love turned inward, a love that has forgotten its source and its end. And the cure is conversion: the turning of the heart outward again, toward the God who is Love and toward the neighbor who bears His image.”
