Murray was Born in Cape Town, South Africa, Murray became a noted missionary leader. His father was a Scottish Presbyterian serving the Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa, and his mother had connections with both French Huguenots and German Lutherans. This background to some extent explains his ecumenical spirit. He was educated at Aberdeen University, Scotland, and at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. After ordination in 1848 he served pastorates at Bloemfontein, Worcester, Cape Town, and Wellington. He helped to found what are now the University College of the Orange Free State and the Stellenbosch Seminary. He served as Moderator of the Cape Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church and was president of both the YMCA (1865) and the South Africa General Mission (1888-1917), now the Africa Evangelical Fellowship.
He was one of the chief promoters of the call to missions in South Africa. This led to the Dutch Reformed Church missions to blacks in the Transvaal and Malawi. Apart from his evangelistic tours in South Africa, he spoke at the Keswick and Northfield Conventions in 1895, making a great impression. upon his British and American audiences. For his contribution to world missions he was given an honorary doctorate by the universities of Aberdeen (1898) and Cape of Good Hope(1907).
Murray is best known today for his devotional writings, which place great emphasis on the need for a rich, personal devotional life. Many of his 240 publications explain in how he saw this devotion and its outworking in the life of the Christian. Several of his books have become devotional classics. Among these are Abide in Christ, Absolute Surrender, With Christ in the School of Prayer, The Spirit of Christ and Waiting on God.

Revealing old treasures to a new generation
Through this book, I was able to reflect upon what it means to have the mind of Christ as it relates to money. As you read this short book, you are challenged to consider how you think about money, its purpose and its role in your life. You are reminded that what and how you give matters. As a church leader or a business leader, how you think about money has a nultiplied affect as you model, teach, and make decisions. Financial stewardship is a spiritual duscipline that we do not talk about. Both White and Murray challenge you to think about money as a conduit of grace. It is but one way in which we pour out ourselves so that others may experience God. The questions for reflection are a great addition to this classic work as readers are prompted to slow down and apply the concepts to their lives.

I felt R. Lynne White did an excellent job of narating "Thoughts for God's Stewards Today". The book gave a great message on realizing all of the blessings we have received and how we can bless the church and others through our giving of ourselves and our finances. It reminds us of how much Jesus gave for us. We can try to put our trust in many things like money, power, etc., but we can trust nothing more than we can Jesus! The more we give of ourselves, the More we are blessed! I highly recommend this.

Andrew Murray's call to Christian stewardship is timelessly relevant. R. Lynn White has brought this classic from a past century to life for us in this audio version. The perceptive questions at the end of each chapter help us to make personal and practical applications of the scriptural principles. Listening to this audio book is good stewardship of your time as well as a challenge to good stewardship of your money.

Probably more like 3.5 stars. This book gives good biblical insights into Jesus and money. I enjoyed the lessons that it had to teach. Lots of good stuff in it and I do recommend it to anyone who is interested in the topic.
