Book Description
Hannah Whitall Smith knew firsthand the world's darkness and grief-but she was confident that "somewhere and somehow God [was] going to make everything right for all the creatures He has created." Her writings have often been censored to remove the more "heretical" portions, but her only heresy is her belief in Divine love, a love stronger than any obstacle. As a mother, she knew how much she loved her children-and she could not believe that God's love could be weaker than her own. "I began to see that the wideness of God's love was far beyond any wideness that I could even conceive of. . . if I took all the unselfish love of every mother's heart the whole world over, and piled it all together, and multiplied it by millions, I would still only get a faint idea of . . . the mother-heart of God." -Hannah Whitall Smith

God of All Comfort
Author: Scott Harrower

ISBN: 168359231X

Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
How does God respond to trauma in a world full of horrors? Beyond their physical and emotional toll, the horrors of this world raise difficult theological and existential questions. Where is God in the darkest moments of the human experience? Is there any hope for recovery from the trauma generated by these horrors? There are no easy answers to these questions. In God of All Comfort, Scott Harrower addresses these questions head on. Using the Gospel of Matthew as a backdrop, he argues for a Trinitarian approach to horrors, showing how God--in his triune nature--reveals himself to those who have experienced trauma. He explores the many ways God relates restoratively with humanity, showing how God's light shines through the darkness of trauma.

Healing Hurts
Author: Linda Kennedy
Publisher: Intelligent Design Press
ISBN: 1953625045
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Sure to give hope and courage to everyone, no matter where one may be in life's unpredictable journey. -Laura Magnin McDonald, MA, LPC, Co-founder of Christian Insight for Life Pain, suffering, grief and tears. Have you had days when it feels like the pain is never going away? Days when you wonder whether you'll ever feel normal again? Times when tears stream down your face nonstop? Drawing from her own experiences and seasons of grief, Linda Kennedy turns to Scripture to find meaning-and hope-amidst the pain. Like Job, you may find people telling you why things are happening to you as they are, but how can they really understand? How did Job respond, and what can we learn to help us through the confusion and doubt of our own pain? Joseph was betrayed time and again, leading to his slavery and unjust imprisonment. How did his dependence on God carry him through the darkest nights? Seasoned with modern-day examples from inspiring people like Joni Erickson Tada and Amy Carmichael, Healing Hurts will carry you gently, show you that you're not alone, and guide you to the One who can make sense of it all. Succinct chapters packed with Scripture, each concluded with thought-provoking reflection questions, make Healing Hurts an excellent resource for personal study or for small groups, support groups, and one-on-one discipleship mentoring. --- Excerpt from the Introduction: I definitely have had days when it feels like the pain will never go away. The minutes and the hours drag by at a snail's pace. I start to wonder if I will ever feel okay again. And then I look around at other people I know who are smiling and acting like they don't have a care in the world. And I start judging them-even though I really may not know them well at all. Why does it always seem like nothing bad ever happens to them? As if I know what's really going on in their lives ... Sometimes life just seems, well, cruel. You feel like every time you turn around more bad news hits. You make it through a severe illness and then you lose your job. Your mother comes to know the Lord and then your sister's child ends up getting killed. You finally reach retirement where you feel comfortable in your investments and the bottom falls out of the stock market. You and your husband finally are able to have children, and then you have a child that's disabled. Why me? But let me tell you, my friends, there is indeed hope. Because of the trials my husband and I have gone through, I often found myself pouring through the Scriptures trying to find morsels that might explain why all these things happened to me and my family. And you know what? I actually found a lot-but there were moments I didn't want to listen to them! So as you read this book, first pray that God would open your heart and mind, then hang on tight and prepare for healing. It may be hard to live through some of the things you have been trying to force out of your memory, but our God is greater than the trials and He does indeed have the answers you've been looking for. I pray as you work your way through this short book that you will be blessed-and I pray that you will allow God's healing balm to sink deep into your soul ... The healing process can sometimes really hurt, but it will all be worth it.

God Is Enough

Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Generation after generation of readers have kept Hannah Whitall Smith's The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life in continuous print since its first publication in 1875. Many of them, however, never became well acquainted with similar gems of spiritual devotion that are found not only in her other published writings but also in the thousands of pages of unpublished letters and journals in which she recorded her spiritual journey. In 1982, through the kindness of her great-granddaughter, Barbara Strachey Halpern, the editors were given free access to the family's treasure lode of books, memorabilia, and manuscripts at her home in Oxford, England. The result was God Is Enough. The warm response generated by its first printing in 1986 and supported by the thousands who welcomed each additional printing thereafter indicates that the practical spiritual insights of this most widely read spiritual counselor of the nineteenth century still speak to us today.

Comfort for Christians
Author: Arthur Pink
Publisher: Sovereign Grace Publishers,
ISBN: 1589603702
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
The work unto which the servant of Christ is called is many sided. Not only is he to preach the Gospel to the unsaved, to feed God's people with knowledge and understanding (Jer. 3:15), and to take up the stumbling stone out of their way (Isa. 57:14), but he is also charged to "cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show My people their transgression" (Isa. 58:1 and cf. 1 Tim. 4:2). While another important part of his commission is stated in, "Comfort ye, My people, said your God" (Isa. 40:1). What an honorable title, "My people!" What an assuring relationship: "your God!" What a pleasant task: "comfort ye My people!" A threefold reason may be suggested for the duplicating of the charge. First, because sometimes the souls of believers refuse to be comforted (Psa. 77:2), and the consolation needs to be repeated. Second, to press this duty the more emphatically upon the preacher's heart, that he need not be sparing in administering cheer. Third, to assure us how heartily desirous God himself is that His people should be of good cheer (Phil. 4:4). God has a "people," the objects of His special favor: a company whom He has taken into such intimate relationship unto Himself that He calls them "My people." Often they are disconsolate: because of their natural corruption's, the temptations of Satan, the cruel treatment of the world, the low state of Christ's cause upon earth. The "God of all comfort" (2 Cor. 1:3) is very tender of them, and it is His revealed will that His servants should bind up the brokenhearted and pour the balm of Gilead into their wounds. What cause have we to exclaim "Who is a God like unto Thee!" (Micah 7:18), who has provided for the comfort of those who were rebels against His government and transgressors of His Law. The contents of this little volume have appeared from time to time in our monthly magazine during the last thirty years. They were, previously, sermons which we preached long ago in the U.S.A. and Australia. Here and there is an expression (especially where Prophecy is touched upon) that we would not use today; but since the Lord was pleased to bless them in their original form to not a few of His distressed people, we have not revised them. May it please Him to speak peace by them to afflicted souls today, and the glory shall be His alone. Pink (1890-1953) was a Baptist Preacher in England, Australia, and the United States. He is most famous for his book The Sovereignty of God. After its advent, he, assisted by his editor Mr. I. Herendeen, launched his yearly publication, Studies in the Scriptures in 1921. These continued until his death, totaling altogether 33 volumes of 288 pp. each. Most of Pink's books are taken from these yearly volumes (written monthly in 24 page format).
