She was also active in the Women's suffrage movement and the Temperance movement. Born in Philadelphia, Smith was from a long line of prominent and influential Quakers in New Jersey. Hannah Tatum Whitall was the daughter of John Mickle Whitall and Mary Tatum Whitall. Her most famous ancestor was Ann Cooper Whitall. (wikipedia.org)Review of the title: Comfort is a word seldom associated with religious faith by those who are not Christians. Doesn't religion make people uncomfortable with its demands? Isn't life more comfortable when we just live the way we want? Who needs to worry about a judgmental God watching our every move? Even the word Jesus is enough to cause people to squirm in their seats.However, for many Christians the words Jesus and comfort are inextricably linked. In her classic work, God of All Comfort, Hannah Whitall Smith describes why faith in the Christian God leads to a comfort and joy that cannot be found elsewhere. Without Christ, life is little more than living through doubt, fear, and anxiety. In her inspirational work, Smith reminds the reader of the reality of God's promises to his people. With Christ, doubt, fear, and anxiety are obsolete feelings. (Andrew Hanson)

God intends for you to be happy and fulfilled-that's the encouraging message of the nineteenth-century classic The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life. "Settle down on this one thing," writes 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 a favorite for more than a century. Smith's masterwork is personal, practical, and powerful, and overflowing with substance for thought.

In 1851 she married Robert Pearsall Smith, also a Quaker, and in 1865 they moved to Millville, New Jersey, where they came under the influence of the Wesleyan-based Holiness movement, a revivalistic creed based on sanctification by faith and the direct experience of salvation.

She began preaching as well...In 1875 she published The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life, a guide to sanctification and complete surrender to divine will that was translated into several languages and sold some two million copies around the world. She wrote several more books, including Every-day Religion; or, The Common-sense Teaching of the Bible (1893) and The Unselfishness of God and How I Discovered It: A Spiritual Autobiography (1903), as well as numerous pamphlets, tracts, and articles. She became a prominent advocate of college education for women and in that regard was a strong influence on her niece, Martha Carey Thomas. She helped found the Woman's Christian Temperance Union in 1874 and in 1883 became superintendent of its new Evangelistic Department.In 1888 Smith and her husband moved to London, where their home was frequented by intellectuals, artists, and reformers, including Bernard Berenson (who married their daughter Mary), Bertrand Russell (who married their daughter Alys), George Bernard Shaw, Henry and William James, Israel Zangwill, Sidney and Beatrice Webb, and George Santayana. Smith continued to work with the British Women's Temperance Association, to preach occasionally, and to write. Her son, Logan Pearsall Smith (1865-1946), became a noted essayist and critic.

The digital copies of these recordings are available for free at First Fruits website. place.asburyseminary.edu/firstfruits Lo que voy a decir en este peque o libro, no es nada nuevo. La iglesia primitive, lo ense en los d as apost licos y desde entonces hasta el presente, ha habido aqu llos que con sus palabras y con sus vidas lo proclamaron. Muchas veces fu perdido de vista y parec a que la iglesia caer a casi en tinieblas desesperantes y en la muerte. Pero "el secreto" siempre fu preservado por la sucesi n apost lica de aqu llos que anduvieron con Dios. En nuestros d as, la preciosa verdad vuelve a levantarse, y este peque o libro, es un esfuerzo para repetirlo en forma sencilla, para que este al alcance de todas las mentes. Muy a menudo el lenguaje de la religi n, como el frecuente repiqueteo de una campana, parece que perdiera el poder de atraer la atenci n; pero puede ser que una campana de tono inferior, interrumpa la negligente distracci n de algunas almas. Por esta raz n no he tratado de escribir un libro teol gico. No hubiera podido, aun queri ndolo. Simplemente me he propuesto decir la bendita historic, tan antigua pero aun nueva, en el lenguaje familiar. No quiero cambiar tampoco las miras teol gicas de ninguna persona. Las verdades que voy a exponer, no son teol gicas sino pr cticas. Yo creo que son verda des fundamentales de la vida y experiencia, las que sostienen y son la base de todas las teol gias: y que son en realidad su designio. Estas se ajustar n a los credos, y hor n posible a quienes los profesan, poder vivir de acuerdo con sus creencias, hallando en ellas realidades experimentales de un Salvador presente y una salvaci n similar. La mayor parte de nosotros, reconocemos que detr s de todas las religiones, hay una religi n absoluta que sostiene cada una de las verdades fundamentales; y mi libro, discurrir sobre esta religi n absoluta. No pretendo que est hecho con perfecci n, pero solamente conf o que sus faltas puedan ser neutralizadas por la verdad que anhelo penetre en los corazones. Este libro lo env o con compasiva simpat a y amoroso anhelo, a todas las almas que luchan y sufren, de cualquier credo o denominaci n que sea, y su mensaje va directamente de mi coraz n, a los suyos. He puesto en el lo mejor que tengo porque no puedo hacer m s. Esta nueva y revisada edici n, es enviada a cumplir su cometido, con oraci n, para que el Senor contin e us ndola como una voz, para ense ar a quienes lo necesitan, el verdadero secreto de "una vida feliz."

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.
