From the Back Cover

The greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:13

 

The first time Dwight L. Moody heard Henry Drummond deliver this meditation on the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians, he said he had never heard anything so beautiful.

            More than a century later, the need for genuine Christian love remains as great as ever. Of faith, hope, and love, love is “the greatest of these” because it alone is the fulfilling of all God’s laws.

            Drummond writes, “To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever.” This beloved classic can teach you the art of living and loving abundantly, as Christ intended—and inspire you to begin to share God’s love through unselfish acts of kindness.

About Henry Drummond

Henry Drummond (1851–1897) was born in Stirling, Scotland, and was educated at Edinburgh University. In 1877, he became a lecturer on natural science at the Free Church College of Glasgow. Drummond was a geologist and an explorer, and he spent a portion of time away from the classroom on scientific expeditions. As a Christian, he combined his knowledge of science with his understanding of God the Creator and His diverse creations. Beyond his work as a scientist, Drummond desired to see men and women come to Christ. He accompanied Dwight L. Moody on many of his revival missions in England and Ireland, and he presented an address on biblical love during this time that deeply affected Moody. Drummond wrote several works on science, but his most famous and enduring book, based on that address on love, is The Greatest Thing in the World.
