The God of All Comfort is an inspiring manual of faith by Hannah
Whitall Smith, who was one of the leading authors of Christian
advice in the late nineteenth century. Smith, having lived and
witnessed a life of supreme faith to God, writes her account of the
principles of the Lord and Jesus Christ. Her aim is to inspire
Christians who may be doubting their faith, as well as those who
need guidance through crises or struggles in life. With a close
reading of the Bible, Whitall Smith is able to demonstrate the
sublime comfort and serenity which the Lord God can dispense
through His love. Blessed with a gift for words and eloquent turns
of phrase, Hannah Whitall Smith places both her faith and her
affinity for language front and center in this book. For many years
this book has been consulted as a sublime manual of true Christian
advice, notable for the greathearted way in which lessons on how to
live and take joy as a follower of God are dispensed.
Is your life all you want it to be? Or do you find yourself wishing
for more? More peace. More presence. More happiness. Hannah Whitall
Smith--believer, rebel, and realist--faced life as she found it,
and she found it good. Despite the trials of life, she took God's
promises literally, tested them, and found them true. She stepped
out of conjecture into certainty, and the shadows of life
disappeared in the light of God's power and peace. You, too, can
have that kind of confidence--confidence that leads to true
happiness no matter what is going on around you. In this classic
book with more than 10 million copies sold, Smith reveals the
secret to replacing unhappiness and uncertainty with serenity and
confidence in every day of your life.
"Settle down on this one thing," wrote Hannah Whitall Smith, "that
Jesus came to save you now, in this life, from the power and
dominion of sin, and to make you more than conquerors through His
power." The exciting message of freedom-from the bondage of sin, to
the life of Christ-is what has made The Christian's Secret of a
Happy Life a favorite for more than a century. Smith's masterwork
is personal, practical, and powerful, and overflowing with
substance for thought. This handsome softcover edition features the
original, unabridged text.
Now with a new foreword by Rosalie De Rosset.
Though her life was difficult, Hannah Whitall Smith's message was
joyful. In the "Christian's Secret of a Happy Life," she writes
that "Jesus came to save you fully now, in this life, from the
power and dominion of sin, and to deliver you altogether."
Passionate and practical, Whitall Smith's classic of the Holiness
movement focuses not on human effort but on simple, stubborn faith
in the Savior and Sanctifier of the soul.
"Our part is the trusting," she writes, "it is His to accomplish
the results."
