Other titles: The Unselfishness of God and How I Discovered It

About this book
For anyone seeking a deeper understanding of God’s nature and a more authentic spiritual life, The Unselfishness of God by Hannah Whitall Smith offers profound insight. Through her personal journey of doubt, struggle, and revelation, you will discover a God whose love is entirely selfless and compassionate.
I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the year 1832. My parents were strict Quakers, and until my marriage at nineteen, I knew nothing of any other religion. I had an absolutely happy childhood and girlhood. I think so now, as I look back upon it, and my diary, kept from the time I was sixteen years old, shows that I thought so then.
