Absolute Surrender

Andrew Murray

Andrew Murray (1828-1917) was a minister, teacher, and missionary of the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa. He was born in South Africa, being educated in Scotland and the Netherlands (where he was ordained), before returning to his home country for ministry in 1849. In 1862 he became moderator of the Dutch Reformed Church and fought for evangelical principles. After 1879 he was active in evangelism with tours of revival meetings which proved extremely successful. In addition to being a prolific author, Murray helped to found the Dutch Reformed missionary union in South Africa, as well as several schools and a prayer union. His social and political activism touched on education and race issues, even warning against the Nationalistic ideology that would later result in Apartheid.

A series of addresses relating to the believer’s new life in Christ.

This devotional book, published in 1895, is actually a series of addresses (the first of which is called "Absolute Surrender”). Each address expounds upon a passage of Scripture, drawing out a variety of lessons and pastoral exhortation. The other addresses are:

• "The Fruit of the Spirit is Love"
• "Separated Unto the Holy Ghost"
• "Peter's Repentance"
• "Impossible with Man, Possible with God"
• "O Wretched Man that I Am!"
• "Having Begun in the Spirit" "Kept By the Power of God"
• "Ye Are the Branches"

    Read in succession, these thoughtfully describe the life of the believer which begins and ends with surrender unto God.
