All God's Comfort

by Herbert Lockyer

Overview

All God's Comfort explores the divine work of comforting those who suffer the effects of this fallen world. After studying the God of comfort and exploring His promises, legendary author Herbert Lockyer applies these truths systematically to the common valleys of human grief and fear. With an approach that is both pastoral and practical, Lockyer uses Scripture, as well as the writings of scholars, poets, and hymnists, to encourage those who need comforting. He also provides guidance to those who seek to become comforters of others, describing the individual and community benefits of doing so. Grieving people, and those who care about them, will find this book to be an insightful guide to availing oneself of God's comfort.

About the Author

DR. HERBERT LOCKYER (1886–1984) was a preacher and Bible teacher, and the author of more than fifty books. His best-known titles include All the Men of the Bible and All the Women of the Bible. Dr. Lockyer held pastorates in Scotland and England for twenty-five years. As pastor of Leeds Road Baptist Church in Bradford, England, he became a leader in the Keswick Higher Life Movement, which emphasized the significance of living in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. This led to an invitation to speak at the Moody Bible Institute’s fiftieth anniversary in 1936. His warm reception at that event led to his ministry in the United States. He received honorary degrees from both the Northwestern Evangelical Seminary and the International Academy in London.
