Greatest Thing In The World And Other Writings

Product Description

A Timeless ClassicOne Sunday evening, D. L. Moody and friends were gathered around a fire. Some guests urged Moody to expound on a portion of Scripture. Being tired after the services of the day, he gruffly told them to ask Henry Drummond, who was also present. After some urging, Drummond finally produced a small New Testament from his hip pocket, opened it to the thirteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians and, without any notes, began to speak on the subject of love. Moody later wrote, "It seemed to me that I had never heard anything so beautiful, and I determined not to rest until I brought Henry Drummond to Northfield to deliver that address. Since then I have requested the principals of my schools to have it read before the students every year."Over the decades, this teaching has become one of the best-loved and most inspiring messages on love ever written.Other writings of Drummond in this unique collection include:The Program of ChristianityThe City Without a ChurchThe Changed LifePax Vobiscum (Peace with You)Eternal LifeThrough this dynamic message, we can experience the beauty of lasting love in all its fullness and learn how to bring God's peace and joy to those around us.

About Henry Drummond

Henry Drummond, a Scottish evangelist and lecturer, was born in Sterling, Scotland on August 7,1851. He was educated at Edinburgh University and, in 1877, became a lecturer on science at the Free Church College of Glasgow.Drummond was a geologist and explorer who 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 the Creator and His diverse creations.Beyond his work as a scientist, Drummond was a man of God who desired to see men and women come to Christ. He accompanied Dwight L. Moody on many of his revival missions in England and Ireland. It was through this association that Moody encouraged Drummond to share his heartfelt thoughts on biblical love; Drummond did so and Moody was so impressed by the address that, after its publication, he had it read to his students each year.Henry Drummond died on March 11, 1897. Although he had written several books for the science world, none has reached the fame of The Greatest Thing in the World or endured as it has.
