No feel-good message here. No fire and brimstone either. Just clear, biblical exhortation from a man with an obvious heart for following God. Murray's main point is that complete obedience, while impossible to practice, must be an absolute commitment on our part for us to walk in Christ. Basic things that are rote memorized truths in Christians minds are here restated in a way that will prod you to reconsider your level of true, deep obedience. I highly reccomend this book for anyone hungering for more...

Yet another 'little, unassuming' book...not! For many years, I've struggled to become more intimate in my relationship and understanding of Christ. I picked up this dusty little gem from the oblivion of my overstuffed bookcase.

Its truths are revolutionary and freeing, enriching and deeply freeing. Yet, to apply these truths is tough on the flesh. My pride and self-sufficiency were challenged. At the turn of each page, I became ever more aware of my own stubborn independence. To give these things to God was a challenge but I am the better for it.

What I admire about Murray's writing is that he was gifted to disseminate complex Biblical truths into bite-sized bits that one can understand and digest. He's quite gifted at this.

If you want to grow closer to God, read and apply the truths in this book.

This book opened my eyes to God's requirement for obedience in our lives. I now understand that we are to follow Jesus' example and obey Him 'unto death'. The author presents a detail spiritual analysis of obedience and God's willingness to help us obey.

Great for anyone stugglinging to obey God in any area of their lives. I will keep this book to re-read whenever the need arises.

This book is an excellant book of obedience. This book will help you to grow in your walk with God. The older saints were very knowledgable & what was written back then if applicable now

I love learning new and exciting things about God! There is always something to learn and apply to our lives, when Christ is involved!
