Overview
"A Classic Devotional Edited for Today's Reader"
Andrew Murray believed that the greatest roadblock to spiritual growth is rooted in prayerlessness. In his familiar devotional style, he clearly outlines the way to overcome this sin of omission. He then offers inspiring and practical guidelines for becoming a prayer warrior, including examples from the prayer lives of the apostle Paul, George Muller, and Hudson Taylor.
Twenty-first century believers will find that the steps to developing a vital spiritual life through prayer are as applicable today as when they were written nearly a century ago. The text has been newly edited for today?s reader
Andrew Murray (1828-1917) was an amazingly prolific Christian writer. He lived and ministered as both a pastor and author from the towns and villages of South Africa. Some of Murray's earliest writings were written to provide nurture and guidance to Christians, whether young or old in the faith; they were actually an extension of his pastoral work. Once books such as Abide in Christ, Like Christ, and With Christ in the School of Prayer were written, Murray became widely known, and new books from his pen were awaited with great eagerness throughout the world. He wrote to give daily practical help to many of the people in his congregation who lived out in the farming communities and could only come into town for church services on rare occasions. As he wrote these books of instruction, Murray adopted the practice of placing many of his more devotional books into thirty-one separate readings to correspond with the days of the month. At the age of seventy-eight, Murray resigned from the pastorate and devoted most of his time to his manuscripts. He continued to write profusely, moving from one book to the next with an intensity of purpose and a zeal that few men of God have ever equaled. He often said of himself, rather humorously, that he was like a hen about to hatch an egg; he was restless and unhappy until he got the burden of the message off his mind. During these later years, after hearing of pocket-sized paperbacks, Andrew Murray immediately began to write books to be published in that fashion. He thought it was a splendid way to have the teachings of the Christian life at your fingertips, where they could be carried around and read at any time of the day. One source has said of Andrew Murray that his prolific style possesses the strength and eloquence that are born of deep earnestness and a sense of the solemnity of the issues of the Christian life. Nearly every page reveals an intensity of purpose and appeal that stirs men to the depths of their souls. Murray moves the emotions, searches the conscience, and reveals the sins and shortcomings of many of us with a love and hope born out of an intimate knowledge of the mercy and faithfulness of God. For Andrew Murray prayer was considered our personal home base from which we live our Christian lives and extend ourselves to others. During his later years, the vital necessity of unceasing prayer in the spiritual life came to the forefront of Andrew Murray's teachings. It was then that he revealed the secret treasures of his heart concerning a life of persistent and believing prayer. Countless persons the world over have hailed Andrew Murray as their spiritual father and given credit for much of their Christian growth to the influence of his priceless devotional books.
Publishers Description
Writing to encourage believers, Murray desired that all Christians discover the abundant life in Christ available to those who pray fervently. Identifying prayerlessness as a serious sin of omission, he instructs sincere believers in how to be delivered from this sin and make prayer a priority, resulting in the blessing of renewed fellowship with Christ. Originally titled The Prayer Life, this devotional classic includes examples from the lives of the apostle Paul, George Muller, Hudson Taylor, and more. |

 | Living an Abundant Christian Life ... May 5, 2003 |
| This book has changed my outlook on prayer. After reading it I agreed that prayer is not just a time before dinner or bed, but a way of life. It is a vital element to a Christian's life. I like to highlight books on profound subjects, which I started out doing with this book but found that there was very little left that was NOT highlighted! The format is written in such a way that Andrew Murray is leading us page by page closer to an intimate prayer life with Our Savior. It's worth reading this book slowly so that you can really think about what you've read & apply it to your life. Most of the chapters are a few pages so that you can do just that. To me, this book seems like it would be appropriate for more mature Christians, meaning Chrisitans who have a steadfast walk w/Jesus & are familar w/His Word. I could be wrong, maybe baby Christians will find it a blessing, but it may be too "meaty." I loved this book & at this price I bought more as gifts. If you give it as a gift you may want to include a highlighter :-) | | | Write your own review about Living a Prayerful Life
