From the Back Cover

So many Christians, instead of accepting God's invitation to enter His throne room, stand alone outside the door, uncertain and ashamed. Christ beckons them to His banqueting table and offers them a room in His house, but they foolishly give up the glory of the life He has offered. They come to Jesus as Redeemer but never go beyond the doorway to abide in Him and experience the unspeakable joy of dwelling with the King of Kings.Andrew Murray knew what it meant to be continually in the Father's presence. Read these thirty-one heart-searching readings and learn how to live daily in closer communion and fellowship with Him. Accept God's invitation and live in His blessing and glory instead of shuffling your feet at the gate. "Abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming." --1 John 2:28 --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

About the Author

South African pastor and author Andrew Murray (1828-1917) was an amazingly prolific writer. Murray began writing on the Christian life for his congregation as an extension of his local pastoral work, but he became internationally known for his books, such as Abide in Christ, that searched men's hearts and brought them into a deep relationship with Christ. Writing with an intensity of purpose and zeal for the message of the Gospel, Murray wrote numerous books even after his retirement at age seventy-eight. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Abide, June 26, 2001

By 

Clay Bell (Fayetteville, AR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Abide in Christ (Paperback)

I love this book. I pick it up every couple of years, and it continues to bless me richly with every read. Andrew Murray simplifies the teachings of Jesus down into three words: "Abide in me." If a believer will simply strive to abide in Christ, all the other benefits will result. Joy overflowing, fruitful ministry, answered prayer, etc. This book is an all time classic with great depth and simplicity in its theology. Buy it and a copy for all your close friends. They don't write them like this anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Desiring Holiness?, December 7, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Abide in Christ (Paperback)

Classic work of Andrew Murray who understood the heart of God. If you desire to live a holy life, but don't understand how, this is the book for you. Christ said, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." If that is not your experience, this book reveals the secret.

John Wilson (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Abide in Christ (Paperback)

I wish I'd had access to this book twenty years ago. After reading chapter (day) five, I realized that for the first time in years there was hope for me.
