Hannah Whitall Smith (1832–1911) war eine US-amerikanische christliche Autorin, Laienpredigerin und Reformaktivistin mit Quäker-Hintergrund, die in den USA und in Großbritannien wirkte. Bekannt wurde sie als prägende Gestalt der Heiligungsbewegung durch ihren Klassiker „Das Geheimnis eines glücklichen Christenlebens“, während ihrequietistischen Tendenzen und ihre spätere Hinwendung zur Allversöhnung auf theologische Kritik stießen. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet sie vor allem als praxisnahe Ermutigerin zu Gelassenheit, Trost und unerschütterlichem Vertrauen auf Gottes Wesen.

Quotes by Hannah Whitall Smith

It is wonderful what miracles God works in wills that are utterly surrendered to Him.

God is enough.

The standard of practical holy living has been so low among Christians that very often the person who tries to practice spiritual disciplines in everyday life is looked upon with disapproval by a large portion of the Church. And for the most part, the followers of Jesus Christ are satisfied with a life so conformed to the world, and so like it in almost every respect, that to a casual observer, there is no difference between the Christian and the pagan.

Hannah Whitall Smith

The greatest burden we have to carry in life is self. The most difficult thing we have to manage is self… In laying off your burdens, therefore, the first one you must get rid of is yourself. You must hand yourself…into the care and keeping of your God… He made you and therefore He understands you, and knows how to manage you, and you must trust Him to do it.
