This book takes the best of Murray's works and places them in a sequential reading order that brings home the truths of the Christian faith in a powerful, life changing way. Andrew Murray states Biblical truths in a simple, yet profound way that cut through theological jargon. Truth moves from the head to the heart through his anointed writing. This is a must book for any believer serious about being conformed to the image of Jesus.

This book has, and still continues to change my life! Every chapter is so FULL of rich wisdom and practical application... The section on humilty is OUTSTANDING! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who craves for a closer, deeper and true relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Praise God for such servants as Andrew Murray! He was truly, a man of God! God Bless!

He can't. He is superb. He distills to bare essences the way to a Holy life in Christ, but his prescriptions are not easy. If you want fluff, Murray is not the man to read. As with his other books, he holds True Believers to the standards Jesus Himself holds them to. As any Christian knows, this is NOT the easy Way.

Better still, Murray asks the same questions we ask, then, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, gives the answers. His book, "The Holiest of Holies" is the best book on the New Testament book of Hebrews I've ever read and is the basis for the perfect Bible study. Buy anything he has written and you will hold in your hands a fine literary and spiritual work.

I never considered myself a "cryer." However, this book is blessed and it moves you in a lot of different ways. First, the topic and the promise of the book. Second, the wonderfully worded insights, "catch phrases," and challenges to faithfulness. Finally, the unshakable faith, vision, and comfort Andrew Murray so spiritually calls us to. His words inspire rather than chastise. They make us want to look up, rather than hang our heads. They make us want to BE better! Take this book into your "morning watch" quiet time, read, meditate, take it to heart and enjoy the blessing of the presence of God.

Murray takes us into God's presence like no other writer - outside the scriptures themself.

I believe after reading this wonderful book by Andrew Murray that every Christian as a babe or a mature Christian should read this book. Next to reading and studying the bible, this book should be read above all others.

In Andrew Murray's time, they didn't have all the distractions that we have, so they studied more than we do. I love the fact we can gleam from them. How blessed are we at this time and in our world as it is, we can even have a far deeper understanding of God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They truly are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Since they are all one, we seem to neglect the Holy Spirit and a deeper understanding of Him. This will take you far beyond what you even understand today if you are a babe or mature Christian.

May the Lord bless you as he has so many with this book.

This is an excellent introduction to Andrew Murray's work. When I was looking for resources to pursue intimacy with God, I was advised to read "anything by Andrew Murray". This is a compilation of several short, easy to read but very profound works. This author talks about "real Christianity" and pursuing a very real God.

To keep it short, I will say that God, through Andrew Murray's books, has brought me in to the most beautiful and personal place. He's really taken me and shown me who He REALY is, and that in turn has made me want to know Him even more intimately. The first book I ever read of Andrew Murray's was "Abide in Christ" (Possibly Andrew's best book), and it changed my life forever. God has continued to call me in deeper, and has given me such a burning passion and closeness with Himself that I didn't know was posssible to have.

I pray that God's Spirit would open the eyes of your heart and make every word a living reality in your life. That you would know Him, in the truest sense of the word, and that He would captivate you by His ferocious Love. May He bring you to the sweet surrender of heart and life, the beauty of His holiness (for it is surely yours to have), and Love everlasting. Grace to you and peace from Christ above. May He have the glory. [Read Ephesians 3:16-21] May His Beloved ones be made children of the burning heart.

Amen

Andrew Murray's understanding is both deep and wide. It is scriputrally sound and based upon his experience with God. Though the writing is from a different generation it is still immenently understandable. It is not just a deep theological treatise but a door that the reader can pass through to experience God's presence for themselves. Highly recommended for those who are searching for Him.
