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. \u003cem\u003e\"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.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eFour Loves\u003c\/em\u003e, C.
