The Greatest Thing in the World and Other Addresses

n this little devotional book, the charming Scottish evangelist meditates upon what he considers the greatest thing in the world-love. His meditations focus on and draw from I Cor- inthians 13. Drummond finds that godly love has nine ingredi- ents: patience, kindness, generosity, humility, courtesy, un- selfishness, a good temper, guilelessness, and sincerity. Just as Drummond's contemporary readers did, clergy and laypersons alike still have a fondness for Drummond's edify- ing words. The Greatest Thing in the World embodies its contents, sharing love's wisdom with warmth and honesty.
