The greatest thing in the world - Henry Drummond

You have life before you. Once only you can live it. What is the noblest object of desire, the supreme gift to covet? THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD is perhaps the most famous exposition of Paul's message of love to the Corinthian church. Scottish writer Henry Drummond wrote this short meditation on love in 1874; widely read and quoted in his lifetime, it sold over twelve million copies and remains a much-loved devotional classic today. THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD lays out the foundation of the gospel: that love, of God and of one another, is our highest calling. This new edition, with a foreword by Norman Drummond, is for all who seek to live a life of love.

Henry Drummond (1851-1897) was a Scottish evangelical writer and lecturer. He was the author of many books, and is best remembered today for his 1874 meditation on love, THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD.Norman Drummond is an author, the founder of the leadership charity Columba 1400, and a Chaplain to Her Majesty The Queen in Scotland.

Some men take an occasional journey into the thirteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians, but Henry Drummond was a man who lived there constantly. As you read what he terms the analysis of love, you found that all its ingredients were interwoven into his daily life.
