"I had never heard anything so beautiful. Since then, I have requested the principals of my schools to have it read before the students every year. The one great need in our Christian life is love, more love to God and to each other." -- D. L. Moody on The Greatest Thing in the World.

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." Henry Drummond first delivered this exposition of one of the best loved bible passages, 1 Corinthians 13, to a group of fellow missionaries in 1884. In this book, he explains the importance of love in all aspects of life; and why it can truly be called the greatest thing in the world. D. L. Moody was so impressed by Drummond's exposition that he had it published. Much later, thinking back to Drummond's exhortation, he said "I had never heard anything so beautiful. Since then, I have requested the principals of my schools to have it read before the students every year. The one great need in our Christian life is love, more love to God and to each other."
