Synopsis

Evangelist Dwight L. Moody relates the story of how he benefited from one particularly vivid and crucial message. “One Sunday evening as we sat around the fire, my friends asked me to read and expound some portion of Scripture. Being tired after the services of the day, I told them to ask Henry Drummond, who was one of the party. He opened his Bible to the 13th chapter of First Corinthians, and began to speak on the subject of love. It seemed to me that I had never heard anything so beautiful. Since then I have requested the principals of the schools to have it read before the students every year.” Drummond’s memorable homily on love—the supreme good—retains all its original freshness and vitality in this oral rendition.

For the withholding of love is the negation of the spirit of Christ, the proof that we never knew Him, that for us He lived in vain. It means that He suggested nothing in all our thoughts, that He inspired nothing in all o......more

This book is all about LOVE! More than just the our westernized understanding of love however! You will actually understand that love is made up of four different things.

The classic analysis of First Corinthians, chapter 13.
