South African pastor and author Andrew Murray (1828–1917) was
an amazingly prolific writer. Murray began writing on the Christian
life for his congregation as an extension of his local pastoral
work, but he became internationally known for his best-selling
books, including With Christ in the School of Prayer and
Abide in Christ, that searched men’s hearts and brought them
into a deeper relationship with Christ. With intense purpose and
zeal for the message of the gospel, Murray wrote numerous books
even after his “retirement” at age seventy-eight.
