About the author
Henry Drummond
418 books55 followersHenry Drummond FRSE FGS was a Scottish evangelist, biologist, writer and lecturer. He was a friend and contemporary of the Rev. John Watson (the Kailyard novelist Ian Maclaren) at Stirling High School and the University of Edinburgh.
Many of his writings were too nicely adapted to the needs of his own day to justify the expectation that they would long survive it, but few men exercised more religious influence in their own generation, especially on young men. His sermon The Greatest Thing in the World remains popular in Christian circles.

Indeed, what lies in this book are countless beautiful thoughts.
Quotations from Natural Law and The Greatest Thing in the World are written as daily verses which can be read by anybody. It goes with the environment, death, life, and any possible things that seeks mainly the thoughts of everyone.

Much of Drummond's work remains relevant today, even if he is almost entirely forgotten. This book is a daily devotional with quotes taken from his books and talks. It is only a book worth having/using if you are already thoroughly aquatinted with his thought/teaching.

February 4, 2019I just got a beautiful vintage copy, published in 1892. Somehow, hands on an old book just brings it more to life. You feel like you are right there with the author. This little book has a different thought for each day, so it will take me a full year to read it. BUT that leaves me a lot of time to dig into my other books!
