This is a collection of commentaries on love written by British author Henry Drummond, published in the late 19th century.
It was first made known in 1884 through a sermon on love delivered by the author.
Published as a book in 1890, it was circulated for many years and became one of the most widely loved sermons in the English language.
In Korea, it was first translated and introduced in 1967 under the title “The Greatest Thing in the World” and has been widely read in various editions since then.
This famous book, which has been quoted and read by many in Korea for a long time but has unfortunately gone out of print, is now being retranslated and edited for publication.

The author analyzes, contrasts, and defends love based on 1 Corinthians 13, written by Paul.
Going beyond the discourse circulated in religious circles that has emphasized that faith is the greatest thing, it emphasizes that love is the essence of Christianity and the greatest good to pursue in life.
And, following Paul's logic, he explains the small and ordinary virtues that make up love with examples, and emphasizes that living in pursuit of a love that will last forever is the task and assignment that Christians must accomplish in life.


As you read the message of love that has not only been loved by many but has also transformed the lives of many, you will experience how this 19th-century classic reaches us today, leaving a gentle yet powerful resonance deep within our hearts.

Where there is love, there is God.
He who lives in love lives in God.
God is love.
Therefore, love.
Love without discrimination, calculation, or delay.
Do not spare the poor.
It's very easy to love them.
Love especially the rich.
Often, rich people are the ones who need the most love.
Above all, love those who are on our level.
This is a very difficult task.
Perhaps they are the people we love the least.
There is a difference between pleasing and giving joy.
Give me joy.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to bring joy.
This is the constant, undisclosed victory that can be achieved in the spirit of true love.

Nothing is an obstacle in love.
Nothing will be difficult.
I believe that Christ's 'yoke' is easy.
The 'yoke' of Christ is the path of life that Christ walked.
So I believe that it is an easier and happier path than any other path.

When you analyze love, there is much more to it than that.
The challenge facing us now is to apply what we have discussed so far to our own character.
This is the greatest task we can devote ourselves to in this world: learning to love.
Isn't life overflowing with opportunities to learn love? Each of us has countless opportunities every day.
The world is not a playground, it's a classroom.
Life is not a holiday, it's a school day.
And there is one eternal learning task given to all of us.
The question is how much more properly we can love.

Do not be displeased with the hands that shape the form within us that has not yet been formed.
Although it is not visible now, the shape is growing more beautiful.
Every test you face can be a part of the process of reaching perfection.
So stay in the middle of life.
Don't run away.
Stay in the midst of people, things, problems, difficulties, and obstacles.
Remember Goethe's words:
“Talent grows in solitude, character grows in the storms of life.” Talent grows in solitude.
Prayer, faith, meditation, and the gift of seeing the invisible.
Character grows through the storms of life.
It is mainly in the midst of the storms of the world that people must learn to love.

--- p.41-42

Tell me anything that will last forever.
Paul didn't bother to list too many.
Although he did not mention money, possessions, or fame, Paul identified the things that the most prominent people of his time considered important and then decisively swept them away.
Paul did not condemn them themselves.
I just said it wouldn't last forever.
It was important, but not the best.
There were things beyond them.
Our existence is more than our work and possessions.

--- p.51

Focus on just one thing.
Make this transcendent personality yours at any cost.
When you look back on your life, you will realize that the moments you remember, the moments when you were truly alive, were the times when you lived with a loving heart.
