Say your prayers in a garden early, ignoring steadfastly the dew, the birds, and the flowers,

and you will come away overwhelmed by its freshness and joy.

Go there in order to be overwhelmed, and, after a certain age, nine times out of ten, nothing will happen to you.

This is Pines for Jack, season five, episode four.

The Four Loves, Chapter 2.

Likeings and Loves for the Subhuman, Part 2.

Good morning, everyone. Pints with Jack is your favourite weekly C.S. Lewis podcast, where three friends,

Andrew, David and Matt, break down and discuss the works of C.S. Lewis. This season, we're talking about love, slowly working our way through The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis. The book he writes

about affection,

friendship, romance, and charity. Well, how is everyone today? Well, I'm doing well. I got a big

project turned in for my liturgy class. And so I've got Camp Allen on the horizon. That's

the C.S. Lewis Retreat, sponsored by the C by the CS Lewis Foundation. And that's December 3rd

and 4th. There's still plenty of spaces to sign up at Camp Allen in Navasota, Texas, central Texas.

It's going to be a fantastic time. And I am going to bring there a bunch of my vintage books.

David and Matt can see behind me. I've got a whole shelf of

I think I've got eight first editions of the screw tape letters and I just held up to them before

the start of the show, a set of British first edition Chronicles of Narnia, lots of other fun

things, including a couple of British First Edition for

loves.

So got a bunch of things coming.

I'll take some of those to Camp Allen, but some of those will be going on eBay here shortly.

So keep your eyes out for that.
