The Greatest Thing in the World: Experience the Enduring Power of Love

A simple little book with a powerful message.

I got this for my husband. Great little read. If you put it into action in your life will transform you. You have to put what you read though into action. Quick easy read with some profound things

Yes! That is all I can say. We all need this reminder (or lesson if not yet known). It is only 56 pages but so full of wisdom!

A small book but a big read, well written and packed with love and encouragement.

Good little read. Will order again for gifts. Definitely a needed read.

I will remember several passages. Writing style and language a little old fashioned.

Price reasonable

Fast ship

Um livro que mostra a importância de amarmos uns aos outros. O amor só constrói; facilmente se transforma em generosidade, solidariedade, bondade........leia.

Eine sehr nahegehende Abhandlung über die Liebe zu seinen Mitmenschen und zu Gott, wie sie im NT gefordert wird - sehr ausführlich und intelligent und warmherzig beleuchtet.Unbedingt lesen!

Not well-written. Not interesting at all.

Written and delivered in the late nineteenth century (circa. 1874), HenryDrummond's essay is as significant today as it was in his time and willcontinue to be relevant because of its pure elegance. Based upon Paul'sletter to the Corinthians (specifically 1 Cor. 13) this essay encapsulateswhat love is and is not in all its manifestations. To read, reflect andinwardly digest Drummond's astute analysis of Paul's letter is to enterinto the realm of thoughtfulness. I hesitate using the word mindfulness asits current use in western culture is ambivalent at best and easilymisconstrued. Drummond's essay demands thought. Whether the reader agreesor disagrees with the precepts of Christianity, it would be wise to layaside any bias and/or prejudice and allow this brilliant essay to challengeone's notion of love.

This delightful fifty-five page book, first published in 1874, is based on 1 Corinthians 13.Love is described as 'Christ's one secret of the Christian life.' It is, says Drummond, "...the rule for fulfilling all rules, the new commandment for keeping all the old commandments..." p16.Drummond unfolds each section of Paul's writing in chapter 13, supporting his exposition with a range of verses from Scripture. Examining how Paul first contrasts love with many things which are highly esteemed, he then provides practical applications to the nine components of love identified by Paul in verses 4 - 7.In his final chapter, Drummond explains why Paul described love as the supreme possession. "In a single word, it is this, it lasts. 'Love,' urges Paul,'never faileth.'". p43A life that is fulfilled, joyful and purposeful, argues the author, is a life that is centred on and becomes the love of God to others. "For the withholding of love is the negation of the Spirit of Christ, the proof that we never knew Him..." p53.Uplifting and challenging, this book provides a deeper understanding of 1 Corinthians 13 and the foundational truth embedded in Scripture, that love is the fulfilling of the law, (Matthew 22:40, Romans 13:10). Love, when rooted in Christ, is the measure by which finally we will be judged.
