More About the Author

Hello! My name is Cecil Murphey, but everyone just calls me 'Cec.'

I have written dozens of books on a variety of topics with an emphasis on Spiritual Growth, Christian Living, and Caregiving. In these books, I share my personal experiences as I strive to be closer to God and to seek his will for me.

My passion is to stimulate people's minds and nourish their souls. Since 1984, I've used my writing to help me accomplish those goals. My first book came off the press in 1975. I now write between three and four books a year in addition to contributing regular columns in many publications. To date I've published more than 100 books and more than 600 articles.

I've started to move into fiction and you can expect to see novels under my name beginning in 2007.

When I write, I have the opportunity to share my faith and my spiritual growth with others. My nonfiction books are based on my personal experiences'experiences that have been enhanced and developed by meeting people just like you.

As a ghostwriter, I sometimes take other people's materials and write books for them. Some carried my name'others did not. (Ghostwriters are often noted with the word 'with' below the author's name). Why do I ghostwrite? It is rewarding for me to help others tell their stories of inspiration and growth. For example, when I see and hear from readers of 90 Minutes in Heaven and they describe the peace they now have after losing a loved one, I am gratified to be a part of telling that story.

I have had the opportunity to be a caregiver and work with a number of other caregivers for their loved ones. It's a difficult, but rewarding commitment. When you are dealing with challenges of Alzheimer's Disease, depression, or substance abuse in your family, it can be a time that stretches you personally and tries your faith.

Stop by my web site. Drop me an e-mail. I'd love to hear from you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who is God? To Whom do you pray?, July 3, 2002
This review is from: Invading the Privacy of God: Rush into God's Presence, Revitalize Your Prayer Life, Put an End to Devotional Boredom (Paperback)
Last night I had to arm wrestle my best friend for my personal, autographed copy of Cec Murphey's book "Invading the Privacy of God." She only had to open to page one to look up at me wide-eyed and say, "I have to have this book! I won't be able to put it down!"

If you want to know about God...if you want a more personal glimpse into His personality and you desire a more intimate relationship with Him...THIS is the book you must begin with! Cecil Murphey has done a powerful job of telling us more about our Awesome God...and has respectfully invaded His privacy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Is God too quiet in your life?, May 14, 2011
This review is from: Invading the Privacy of God: Rush into God's Presence, Revitalize Your Prayer Life, Put an End to Devotional Boredom (Paperback)
While looking for something different to read along with my Bible during daily devotional time, I uncovered two sparkling gems. Reading a chapter a day in each of two Cec Murphey books gave just what I needed to stir up my spirit. The titles are Invading the Privacy of God (copyright 1997) and Knowing God, Knowing Myself copyright 2010). Although I'm fairly certain it wasn't Murphey's plan, I discovered these two books are superb companions. Together, they effectively present practical applications for what Jesus called the Greatest Commandment: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: `Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these," Mark 12:30-31, NIV.

Invading the Privacy of God presents marvelous insights into the nature, character, and attributes of God. Knowing God, Knowing Myself presents insights from a seasoned Christian who has learned how to successfully live with and understand the people around us. They report the experiences of a deeply seasoned child of God who faithfully follows his Lord along this winding pathway we call life.

Murphey peppered these books with biblical references applicable to everyday life and circumstances. When I finished reading them, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had underlined text and written personal notes and insights in the margins on at least one page of every chapter.

Whenever I stumble upon books with exceptional insights, I place the titles and page numbers next to relevant verses in my Bible. You may be interested to know that Murphey's books are now cataloged in my Bible.

If you're looking for a refreshing change of pace for your daily quiet time, or if you're seeking to fill gaps in your understanding of relationships with God and with the people around you, these are the books for you!
