The supreme gift : love is the greatest thing in the world / Paulo Coelho ; translated from the Portuguese by Margaret Jull Costa.
"What is love? In his nineteenth century classic sermon, "The Greatest Thing in the World," the young missionary Henry Drummond defined love as the culmination of nine elements: patience, kindness, generosity, humility, gentleness, dedication, tolerance, sincerity, and innocence. Reflecting on this sermon and its subject, St. Paul's Letter to the Corinthians, the admired spiritual teacher Paulo Coelho adapts Henry Drummond's text, offering a real and powerful message that will help us incorporate love into our daily life and experience all its transformational power"-- Front jacket flap.
