Where we found love there is happiness.
In the late 19th century, Henry Drummond, a young Scotsman newly returned from Africa, delivered an interpretation of Saint Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians that captivated his audience and was hailed as one of the most beautiful texts ever written on love.
Through these pages, Paulo Coelho offers a stirring adaptation, presenting us with pearls of wisdom to help us live better by cultivating love as our most precious asset. Patience, kindness, generosity, humility, gentleness, devotion, tolerance, innocence, sincerity–these are its components. And no matter what we believe in, love, in all its forms, is the treasure of the soul, the secret of life, the Supreme Gift.

“I thought I had already reflected on everything I needed to know about love when Henry Drummond’s sermon fell into my hands. From the moment I read the words of this book and tried to put its teachings into practice, my life changed significantly.”
- Paulo Coelho
It is better not to live than not to love.
To love abundantly is to live abundantly.
