HANNAH WHITALL SMITH (1832-1911) was born into a strict Quaker home in Philadelphia and became a major influence in the Holiness movement of the late nineteenth century. Besides "The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life," Smith also wrote "The God of All Comfort" and an autobiography, "The Unselfishness of God."

God isn't angry with you—He longs to give you peace and joy. That's the message of Hannah Whitall Smith's important and powerful book The God of All Comfort. Abridged and updated for today's reader, this late nineteenth-century study holds a well-deserved spot among the Christian classics, reminding God's children of His many promises of comfort, help, and love. Addressing God's powerful names, His role as shepherd and dwelling place, and His complete sufficiency for human needs, The God of All Comfort will show you that anxiety, fear, and insecurity are unnecessary feelings for Christians.
