Now, this much-loved Christian classic has been carefully rewritten in clear, contemporary language for a new generation of readers. This modern edition was created by Karina Lighthall, a pastor’s wife, after women in her ministry shared that they loved the message of the original but struggled to understand its nineteenth-century language. Rather than simply replacing a few outdated words, Karina has rewritten the book from beginning to end, seeking to preserve the heart and teaching of Hannah Whitall Smith while making her message easier for today’s readers to understand. Within these pages, you will be invited to consider what it means to trust God with every area of your life, to move from striving to resting in Christ, and to experience the transforming power of surrender and faith. Hannah Whitall Smith speaks with remarkable warmth about finding peace in difficulty, learning to depend on God, and discovering the joy and freedom that come from a life fully surrendered to Him. Whether you are discovering this classic for the first time or returning to a book that has encouraged Christians for generations, this modern edition makes its timeless message accessible without losing the heart of the original. Come discover the secret of a happy life—not through trying harder, but through learning to trust Him more.
