Hi brothers and sisters,

I'm currently reading a wonderful encouraging book. I believe it can especially help those who find it hard to trust God because of their religious luggage that can so damage one's trust in our Father, Who is Love.

The book is 'The God of all Comfort' by Hannah Withall Smith. You can read the book online: https://archive.org/details/godallcomfortan00smitgoog/mode/2up

If the link doesn't work, you can use this one and select the title:

There are other interesting titles too, I read 'The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life' and found that very uplifting too.

You just sense from every page Hannah knew our God and Father very well. I believe this has partly to do with her knowing Him as the Saviour of the whole world. In her autobiography 'The Unselfishness of God and How I Discovered it', she describes how God revealed this to her (you find that book on the same page, unabridged). The exact chapters about her discovery are also found at Tentmaker: https://www.tentmaker.org/books/unselfishness-of-god.htm

Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?
