Andrew Murray

If there is one spiritual writer who could be labeled the most tragically overlooked author by Evangelical Christianity today, it would be Andrew Murray.  Unfortunately, only a rare few of his books are still published by large publishers; most are hidden behind the dated covers of Whitaker House Publishers. If I could read only five authors for the rest of my life, he would be one of them.  Murray speaks with the voice of a mystic, persistently reminding us that only through the inward life of prayer does the outward life of action have true meaning.

The place and power of prayer in the Christian life is too little understood.  As long as we view prayer simply as the means of mainting our own Chrisitan lives, we will not fully understand what it is really supposed to be. But when we learn to regard it as the highest work entrusted to us- the root and strength of all other work- we will see that there is nothing we need to study and practice more than the art of praying.  — With Christ in the School of Prayer
