Addresses by Henry Drummond by Henry Drummond

Description

Addresses by Henry Drummond by Henry Drummond is a collection of motivational speeches written during the late 19th century. The book primarily explores the theme of love, drawing from biblical teachings, particularly the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians, where love is depicted as the greatest virtue. It presents the idea that love transcends faith and hope, and that embodying love is essential to a fulfilling Christian life. The opening of the book begins with an anecdote shared by D. L. Moody, a prominent contemporary of Drummond, recalling an inspiring address delivered by Drummond on the subject of love. He describes how this address moved him deeply, leading him to desire that others share in this experience. The text emphasizes the significance of love in Christian practice, arguing that it is a central tenet that should inform interactions and everyday life. In this initial portion, Drummond contrasts love with other virtues such as faith and eloquence, establishing love’s supremacy while laying a foundation for a deeper exploration of its various manifestations and importance in human relationships.
