Andrew Murray - The Complete Surrender (The Master's Indwelling 8 of 13)

Derived from a series of addresses delivered by the author in 1895, Andrew Murray's compilation of 13 meditations provides the biblical interpretation to encourage Christians throughout different stages of their spiritual walk. As a South African Dutch Reformed leader and pioneering missionary, Murray's ecumenical acumen is evident in his detailed pieces, which are both reflective and enlightening. Murray's devotional is loosely organized into three sections. The first section, in which Murray emphasizes a transition from what he calls the "Carnal" into the "Spiritual," focuses on the importance of self-sacrifice. The second section highlights the importance of prayer and the Christian's responsibility in preparation for the Kingdom. The final section encourages Christians to revel in the rewards of a faithful walk with the Lord: blessings of the spirit, peace in God's grace, and the ultimate comfort in Christ's redemption. In this eye-opening devotional, Murray helps Christians find assurance in the knowledge that God is "all in all."
