A Life That is His

If you’ve never read Andrew Murray, you’re very much missing out! His material is all old (he died in 1917), but has stood the test of time, and usually sounds as if it were written for today. Of course, this is probably because his works are not about how to navigate the specifics of certain passing circumstances, but because he deals in the eternal nature and unchanging blessings of God.

Murray was an avid proponent of God himself, and surrender as a means of enjoying more of Him. He became acquainted with the Holy Spirit and pressed in, hungering and thirsting after God and teaching that every believer could know this same satisfaction, freedom, and joy. Thus far I’ve read two books by him, both highly worthy of your time (Humility and With Christ in the School of Prayer), but Absolute Surrender gets the nod today simply because I’m currently reading and greatly enjoying it!

Unfortunately, I am reading a borrowed copy, so I can’t lend it out, but you could try and bother Camille for her copy when I’m done with it…

If you are an e-Book reader, Murray’s works are old enough to be public domain, but not all are available yet. Absolute Surrender is available as a free audiobook. See available resources on Project Gutenberg.
