Synopsis

Discover the meaning of a wholehearted commitment to Christ in Andrew Murray's powerful ABSOLUTE SURRENDER. Pastor Murray shows that this will lead to loving and unified Christian communities, filled with and guided by the Holy Spirit. He describes how Peter's life and transformation in Christ can be an example for us all. This transformation comes through realizing that with God, all things are possible. In both conversion and progress in the Christian life, we are wholly dependent on the power of God, and to be kept by God means that God must be involved in all aspects of our lives. Andrew Murray leads us, finally, to see how we can live as branches of the living Vine.

About the Author

Andrew Murray (1828–1917) was a South African writer, teacher, and Christian pastor. Murray considered missions to be "the chief end of the church." Andrew pastored churches in Bloemfontein, Worcester, Cape Town and Wellington, all in South Africa. He was a champion of the South African Revival of 1860. In 1889, he was one of the founders of the South African General Mission (SAGM), along with Martha Osborn and Spencer Walton. After Martha Osborn married George Howe, they formed the South East Africa General Mission (SEAGM) in 1891. SAGM and SEAGM merged in 1894. Because its ministry had spread into other African countries, the mission's name was changed to Africa Evangelical Fellowship (AEF) in 1965. AEF joined with SIM in 1998 and continues to this day. He died on January 18, 1917, four months before his eighty-ninth birthday. Over the years he has influenced many, including Jessie Penn-Lewis, a key figure in the 1904-1905 Welsh Revival.
