The digital copies of this book are available for free at First Fruits website. place.asburyseminary.edu/firstfruits Preface THIS is not a theological book. I frankly confess I have not been trained in theological schools, and do not understand their methods nor their terms. But the Lord has taught me experimentally and practically certain lessons out of His Word, which have greatly helped me in my christian life, and have made it a very happy one. And I want to tell my secret, in the best way I can, in order that some others may be helped into a happy life also. I do not seek to change the theological views of a single individual. I dare say most of my readers know far more about theology than I do myself, and perhaps may discover abundance of what will seem to be theological mistakes. But let me ask that these may be overlooked, and that my readers will try, instead, to get at the experimental point of that which I have tried to say, and if that is practical and helpful, forgive the blundering way in which it is expressed. I have tried to reach the absolute truth which lies at the foundation of all "creeds" and '' views," and to bring the soul into those per- sonal relations with God which must exist alike in every form of religion, let the expression of them differ as they may. I have committed my book to the Lord, and have asked Him to counteract all in it that is wrong, and to let only that which is true find entrance into any heart. It is sent out in tender sympathy and yearn- ing love for all the struggling, weary ones in, the Church of Christ, and its message goes right from my heart to theirs. I have given the best I have, and could do no more. May the blessed Holy Spirit use it to teach some of my readers the true secret of a happy life! HANNAH WHITALL SMITH.

I have had this book on my shelf for many years before I actually read it. When I did, I wished I had read it much earlier! For it taught me how I could truly trust Father God with my whole life and my children's lives also. I am not in control but He is.
I believe all new believers and those who are full of doubts, and tormented with worry this book will bring understanding of the logic of trust. I prayed for guidance to the right book and for me it was excellent. I prayed and asked God to reveal the rest that is intended for His children. I have been at peace even when I walk through many scary places.

A classic
This is a wonderful book. Everyone should have a copy. I have given several for gifts. If you are struggling in your Christian life, this book is greatly encouraging. If I could only have only a few book on my home, this would be one of them. It is a Classic!

Don't bother
A thin, quick to read book that has no substance worth reading. This author if she had read the Bible at all had forgotten it. Her faith was all the "magic word" variety.

Wow! What an awesome book
I absolutely love this book. I read it once and now am reading again but much slower so that I can ponder all the rich nuggets of wisdom contained therewith. This author is evidently blessed with a faith you don't see to often in this world. Don't hesitate to read it, it can only enrich your life.
