The Essential Andrew Murray Collection: Humility, Abiding in Christ, Living a Prayerful Life by Andrew Murray Book Review

In the Essential Andrew Murray collection, they enclosed three of his books in a single collection series. It starts out with Humility, which is about how we need to not cave into our pride. We must choose humility and we have to remember that we are created by God and He dwells in us. He looked at the fall of man and how satan caused his own fall when he was poisoned with pride because he wanted to be like God. He shared how God humbled himself to become man. Jesus became our pathway to salvation. He also looked at the teachings of Jesus and how he stated that the meek will be blessed and will inherit the earth and the poor in spirit will be blessed in the kingdom of Heaven. He also looked at the disciples and feet washing and how this is an example of humility. He explained how we need to see ourselves as nothing and put ourselves aside and let God be our everything. He looked at the character of a faithful servant and how we can be humble. 

 

 

Abiding in Christ is the second book which is a 30-day devotional. This one discussed John 15:1-12 and how we need to abide in Him and in His word. He looked at how if we will choose to abide in Him, then we will find rest for our soul and taking His yoke. He explored in great detail about the parable of the Vine and the branch and how we can choose to form a union with Christ. He goes on at how we can bear fruit in our lives and how this will in turn help us to have infinite love and how this will cause us to want to serve others. He explained at how the church and the world needs grace and power of Christ and how we can all be witnesses to Christ. 

 

 

Living a Prayerful Life is about how we need to live a prayer life. He starts sharing how we are all guilty of sinning and not praying. He revealed how this causes a deficient spiritual life and he looked at how we can change that. He explored the Holy Spirit and how we must believe that He is in us. This will help us with being reminded that Christ is omnipresent and His love for us. This book looked at different ways in which we can become prayer warriors and he looked at the life of Paul, George Muller, and Hudson Taylor. 

 

I would this book to anyone who is ready to learn the teachings of a historian. I immensely loved how the collection contained three different books and the book had over 400 pages in it. This book is one that is meant to be read and studied and it will take readers time to medicate on the powerful truths included. I liked how he looked at different characters areas to guide us in our spiritual journey. I enjoyed the topic about humility and how this can help us to humble ourselves before God. The book was very helpful in surrendering our lives to Christ and building our lives up spiritual.
