The Holiest of All [Paperback]

Andrew Murray (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1996

Andrew Murray is one of the most celebrated spiritual writers of his time. Many of his works have stood as spiritual standards for a hundred years. This book is a masterful illumination of the pages of the book of Hebrews. In every passage Murray sees the purpose of God in the New Covenant - to set His very Spirit within us. As one of Murray's earliest efforts, this book is something of a lost gem. It has been little published, and even less known. But the depth of heart and richness of spiritual revelation shine through these pages. Murray's keen insight brings us to the heart of God's intent in sending the Holy Spirit

5.0 out of 5 stars A caution to backsliding or remaining stagnant!, April 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Holiest of All (Paperback)

The most wonderful commentary/devotional I have read! This book takes you verse by verse through Hebrews. Among the lessons learned: God's rest = ceasing from our own self-efforts, the importance of growth, Law vs. Grace, the four cornerstones of faith = Divinity of Christ, the Incarnation, the Atonement on the cross, and the Ascension to the Throne, the path of following Christ = humility, meekness, obedience and death, the meaning of Jesus' death, why Christ had to become a man, etc. The list of lessons is endless depending on who you are and where you are in your walk with Christ! Read the book and discover your own lessons.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing "Updated" Version, December 6, 2005

Who would take the liberty to 'rewrite' someone's words in the name of updating them? Murray is eloquent, and hardly difficult enough to need modernizing. Every page I compare of this update with Murray's original leaves me sorely disappointed. The update removes subtleties, turns Murray's eloquence into dumbed down language, and sometimes just plain changes the meaning. No one updates Shakespeare. This update only gives a rough idea of Murray's intent, and often changes the meaning to a Gnostic drive for power. To hear what Murray really intended, by all means find an old used copy. With this rewrite you can still hear many wonderful things Murray has to say, but it really is second best ... or worse.

This review is from: The Holiest of All (Paperback)

this book isn't an exhaustive commentary but rather a enlightning devotional. Andrew Murray speaks from his relationship with God in the holy of holies, writing about the wonderful truths of hebrews - the rest of God, the new covenant, Melchizidek our great High priest, the holy of holies - all of these truths are the result of the relationship we have with Jesus Christ. Jesus is our rest, He is our high Priest, He is the Holy of Holies - its all about Jesus and the grace which He has lavished on us through the blood of the eternal covenant - "let us be diligent to enter that rest" (Hebrews 4:11), the rest which is the result of the relationship we have with Jesus.
