Book Description
In an effort to resolve the discomfort many Christians feel in the absence of an abundant life, Hannah Whitall Smith wrote "God of All Comfort." Employing anecdotes and lively language, she sought to clarify the nature of man's relationship to God. Largely because of her practical approach to faith, Smith's books continue to be widely read. -- Amazon.

Book Description
"Comfort, comfort My people. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and announce to her that her time of servitude is over, her iniquity has been pardoned, and she has received from the Lords hand double for all her sins." Isaiah 40: 2 There is need always for tender words. Always there is sorrow. Everywhere hearts are breaking. There is no one who is not made happier by gentle speech. Yet there is in the world, a dearth of tender words. Some people scarcely ever speak them. Their tones are harsh. There seems no kindness in their hearts. They are gruff, severe, faultfinding. Even in the presence of suffering and sorrow, they evince no tenderness. "Speak tenderly" is a divine exhortation. That is the way God wants us to speak to each other. That is the way God himself ever speaks to his children. The Bible is full of tender words. We would say that in view of the wickedness of men, their ingratitude, the base return they make for God's goodness, the way they stain the earth with sinGod would be angry with them every day. But instead of anger, only love is shown. He is ever speaking in words of loving kindness. He makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends the rain on the just and the unjust. Every message he sends is love. All his thoughts toward his children are peace. The most wonderful expression of his heart toward the world, was in the giving of Christ. He was the Word, the revealer of the heart of God. He never spoke so tenderly to women when he sent his Son. Who can measure the comfort that was given to the world in Jesus Christ? This book will bring words of comfort and peace to the hearts of those who seek rest for their hearts in a reading inspired by the Word of God

For a hardcopy edition please see below*. __________________________________________________________________ The Book of Comfort / Das Buch des Trostes (Standard-translation©) is part of the Hortus Conclusus monumental series of spiritual teachings by German poet, writer and painter, Bô Yin Râ (Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken) (1876-1943). The Hortus Conclusus consists of 32 books as well as spiritual paintings. This edition also includes the original emphases (of font) as intended by the Author. Bô Yin Râ lived in Germany (Frankfurt, Görlitz, Berlin, Munich, Königsberg), Austria (Vienna), France (Paris), and Switzerland (Horgen, Massagno). (He) expressed his insights into the metaphysical structures of the eternal spiritual reality through art and writings. – GERMAN BÔ YIN RÂ FOUNDATION (to learn more about Bô Yin Râ, his life and work, visit www.bo-yin-ra-stiftung.de) __________________________________________________________________ But your suffering – however severe it is – can become a blessing for you. Equally, it will only bring you further calamity if you fail to become its master… You alone can decide what is to spring forth from the seed of your suffering! – Only when you cease looking backwards and see the tasks which lie ahead will you harvest the blessings of suffering! – Your destiny wants something from you, whenever it leads you through pain and suffering! – Every experience of suffering is both an end and a new beginning. If you tarry too long at the end, you will paralyse the best strength within you destined to help you make a new start! - THE BOOK OF COMFORT CONTENTS: On suffering and comfort. On the Teachings of Suffering. On Every Manner of Folly. On the Comforting Power of Work. On Comfort for those Who Mourn. The Standard-translation© into English __________________________________________________________________ What I have to say is beyond belief and disbelief! I'm not a prophet who needs "confessors" – nor a fighter, who is looking for "followers" behind him, but only a mediator of spiritual insights about the real home of mankind. My writings shouldn't be "believed" but taken up objectively, to awaken innermost experience. – ABOUT MY WRITINGS Countless people – and in truth not just those whose souls are the most frigid – continually await an immense experience to shake their innermost depths. Since all their longing is incapable of summoning up this experience, they rush restlessly searching from experience to experience, caught up in the delusion that the hoped for experience is bound to be attained, if they could only locate the powerful phenomenon capable of overpowering their souls with its immensity. – SHOWING THE WAY A yearning is passing through the world, – a consuming desire, – and every soul not yet completely hardened and incapable of awakening feels gripped by it. (...) One ‘may’ once again believe in things which cannot been proven by 'experiments’, and one is no longer mocked for recognising that we are surrounded and influenced by the invisible, even if we cannot solve its mystery… The ‘miraculous’ would again become reality; the realm of faith extends its borders. – THE BOOK ON THE LIVING GOD The design of pages, emphases placed on particular words, use of spaces, long hyphens, exclamation marks etc. — included in this English translation enables ‘heart-Readers’ to meditate, to breathe-in while willingly absorbing the text as a ‘spiritual sustenance’. – Sarah Havah Theebaum, historian of ideas, painter, poet. __________________________________________________________________ Books to Light, Publisher Here are the main sites our books are currently available (look for Books to Light or for the Author's name): Amazon, for hardcopies and eBooks (regions available: US, UK, DE, FR, ES, IT, NL, JP, BR, CA, MX, AU, IN, PL) Google Books, for eBooks (regions available: AR, AT, AU, BE, BO, BR, BY, CA, CH, CL, CO, CR, CZ, DE, DK, DO, EC, EE, ES, FI, FR, GB, GR, GT, HK, HN, HU, ID, IE, IN, IT, JP, KG, KR, KZ, LT, LU, LV, MX, MY, NI, NL, NO, NZ, PA, PE, PH, PL, PT, PY, RO, RU, SE, SG, SK, SV, TH, TR, TW, UA, US, UY, UZ, VE, VN, ZA) PayHip, for PDFs (worldwide) Contact us at:
