Summary: Right next to my Bible
Review: Hannah Whitall Smith's small book, "The God of All Comfort", is the little book I keep close by. It is the book I go to time after time, especially in times of sorrow, trouble, or fear. I have underlined and re-underlined passages. I have dated in the margins times when phrases have applied. This is the book I give to friends when they are going through deep waters. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Very encouraging!
Review: I love the writings of H.W. Smith so very much because they are so practical and easy to understand. You can feel it: She experienced something.
Especially the book "God of all Comfort" is so touching and not only comforting. It shows the way to satisfaction in the midst of hard times and sorrows in the everyday life. A wonderful book!
The last chapter ("God is enough")seems to be the best and most helpful chapter. I quote some passages: "God, and God alone, is enough for all the soul needs. ... This is the crowning discovery of our whole Christian life...The Promiser is more than His promises; and His existence is a surer ground of confidence than the most fervent feelings...And should every promise be wiped of the Bible, we would still have God left, and God would be enough."

Summary: Life Changing
Review: Reading Hannah's book is like visiting with a friend. Her words spoke directly to my heart. God has used this book in my life to show me his Fatherhood--how much He dearly loves His children. Hannah also shows how the Lord is our Shepherd, our Provider, our Banner, our Dwelling Place, and much more. Never has any other book changed my life like this one--other than the Bible, of course. I know it will change yours too.

Summary: Answer to a Prayer
Review: This book was exactly what I needed at a time of backsliding in the Christian life. Hannah taught me to stop fighting my own battles and hand them over to God, who fights for us. It also inspired me to get rid of all the worry and anxiety in my life. She masterfully illustrates, through biblical passages, God's unfailing love and care for His children. The way Hannah states her case, it is utter foolishness not to trust God completely and hand over all our cares to Him. Now I can look up at the stars at night, knowing that the God who made them is now in charge of my puny problems, and will bring about a solution in His own good way at His own good time. For just as we love to do good things for our children, "much more" does God love to do good things for His. If only every worried or anxious Christian would read this book, their lives would instead be full of comfort and joy.

Summary: Finding Comfort
Review: This is a favourite book of mine. This book is about how to find comfort in a Christian life. Even though it is written for Christians, I think that people of all faiths might gain from reading this book. The premise of this book is that comfort in our spiritual relationship derives from faith. This faith is a decision. The decision is to decide what we will have faith in: either circumstances or the words in the Bible. If you are interested in peace in your spiritual relationship, this book will be interesting to you.
