About the author

Henry 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.

[Julia · Rating 5 out of 5]

The first address in this book (the first is “The Changed Life”) was mesmerizing to me. Drummond was an evangelist and a scientist, and he draws wonderful analogies between the natural world he studied and the spiritual world he not only studied through the Bible, but also lived for. This part one of the book stunned me with its clarity for how to live a life character. The second address (The Greatest Thing in the World) did not grab me so completely, but is definitely a marvelous read.
