Evangelist Dwight L. Moody relates the story of how he benefited from one particularly vivid and crucial message. Drummond’s memorable homily on love—the supreme good—retains all its original freshness and vitality in this oral rendition.

"This question, let it be carefully observed, applies to laws not to phenomena. That the Phenomena of the Spiritual World are in analogy with the Phenomena of the Natural World requires no restatement. Since Plato enunciated his doctrine of the Cave or of the twice-divided line; since Christ spake in parables; since Plotinus wrote of the world as an image...since "Sartor Resartus" and "In Memoriam," it has been all but a commonplace with thinkers that "the invisible things of God from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made."

"WHAT does God do all day?" once asked a little boy. One could wish that more grown-up people would ask so very real a question. Unfortunately, most of us are not even boys in religious intelligence, but only very unthinking children. It no more occurs to us that God is engaged in any particular work in the world than it occurs to a little child that its father does anything except be its father. Its father may be a Cabinet Minister absorbed in the nation's work, or an inventor deep in schemes for the world's good; but to this master-egoist he is father, and nothing more. Childhood, whether...

A Scottish evangelist in the late 19th century, Drummond is best remembered for this 1880 meditation, The Greatest Thing in the World, his thoughts on Paul's great hymn to love, 1 Corinthians 13. It is an empowering message, as timeless as it is life-affirming.

The Changed Life was originally intended to be given as a spoken address by the renowned 19-century Scottish evangelist Henry Drummond.

Professor of the natural sciences, world lecturer, and missionary, Henry Drummond was a man of multiple talents and interests. His penetrating scientific mind enabled him to tackle topics such as the way to become like Christ ( The Changed Life) and objections to faith ( Dealing with Doubt) with clarity and accuracy.

Henry Drummond (1851-1897) was a Scottish evangelist, biologist, writer, and lecturer. This essay is about a man laying down his life as Christ laid down His life. It is also about using plain language when talking about the message of the Bible.

It sometimes happens that a man, in giving to the world the truths that have most influenced his life, unconsciously writes the truest kind of a character sketch. This was so in the case of Henry Drummond, and no words of mine can better describe his life or character than those in which he has presented to us," The Greatest Thing in the World." Some men take an occasional journey into the 13th of One Corinthians, but Henry Drummond was a man who lived there constantly, appropriating its blessings and exemplifying its teachings.

Love is humankind's supreme gift. Paulo Coelho, the internationally bestselling author of The Alchemist, teaches us how to embrace it. “I thought that I had already thought about everything you could think about Love when Henry Drummond’s sermon fell into my hands. My life changed a lot from...

“Doubt” – We are forced to face that subject. We have no choice. I would rather let it alone; but every day of my life I meet men who doubt, and I am quite sure that most of you have innumerable interviews every year with men who raise skeptical difficulties about religion. Now, it becomes a matter of great practical importance that we should know how to deal wisely with these men. Upon the whole, I think these are the best men in the country. I speak of my own country. I speak of the universities with which I am familiar, and I say that the men who are perplexed — the men who come ...

The ability to make sound and timely decisions is the mark of a good leader. But when leaders with otherwise strong track records suddenly begin making poor decisions - as seen in the recent corporate scandals that rocked the business world - the impact can be widespread. In The Stress Effect, leadership expert Henry L. Thompson argues that stress is often the real culprit behind this leadership failure.
