"The most obvious lesson in Christ's teaching is that there is no happiness in having and getting anything, but only in giving. I repeat, there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Half the world is on the wrong scent in pursuit of happiness. They think it consists in having and getting, and in being served by others. It consists in giving, and in serving others. 'He that would be great among you,' said Christ, 'let him serve.' He that would be happy, let him remember that there is but one way—'it is more blessed, it is more happy, to give than to receive.'"
A short and simple treatment of I Corinthians 13. Drummond doesn't really break any new ground here, but he does a good job laying out the importance of love (paramount), the source of love (God, who is love), and the characteristics of a loving person (patience, kindness, etc.). Nothing earth shattering here, but definitely worth the few minutes it takes to read it. And probably a good resource for those who are less enamored of long complex treatises on biblical concepts.
I was sort of annoyed by the periodic ALLCAPS phrases--they interrupted the flow of the writing and honestly were sort of confusing. But other than that, it's a decent little book on, as Drummond notes, the most important thing in the world.

This short little book was packed with great stuff on love and loving the Christian life! I enjoyed this!
A 150-year-old testament to the truth, meaning, and remarkableness of 1 Corinthians 13. The “love” chapter. Here we dig into the real deal behind what it means that “the greatest of these is love.” Moving, raw, and thought provoking. You can just tell Drummond believed whole heartedly, and his passion for others to believe as well is evident. Lots of thoughts and note taking.
