Absolute Surrender - Softcover

In Absolute Surrender, Andrew Murray writes clearly and powerfully on the necessity of surrender in the Christian's life - something that isn't spoken about much today. But how is it done? How do we really die to ourselves and live fully surrendered lives? Andrew Murray shows clearly from Scripture how this surrender isn't from human effort, but from rises from God's grace and through the Holy Spirit. Murray is a master in making the deep things of God easily grasped, and he does it again in this classic book. Few books today can match the depth of understanding of this one on the subject of legitimate, real Christianity. In the absence of this principle, there is no foundation for claims of true Christianity. Absolute Surrender is not just a good book about an optional level of Christianity, because this principle, presented first by Christ, Himself, is the sum of the only acceptable level for the Christian experience.

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.
