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.

“A life in the presence, the will, and the power of God has been opened up; men have been given the opportunity to enter into it and live in it; and you, too, can enter it.”
Andrew Murray was a prolific South African cleric who flourished in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Extracts of several of Murray’s shorter works were compiled create this topical work on the Holy Spirit.
“This is the great objective of fellowship with God: that we may have more of God in our lives and that God may see Christ formed in us. Be silent before God, and let Him bless you.”
Foundational works for modern Christians who seek to empty themselves of themselves and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
“Your God has given you Christ, and He wants to put Christ into your heart in such a way that His presence will be with you every moment of your life.”Chapters stand alone, encouraging the reader to reflect on the topics.
“Count upon the living Christ to do everything in your heart that needs to be done.”

such a great biblical based book all on the Holy Spirit...it amazes me that books from the early 1900's are still as powerful...yet we still aren't applying it ...

Andrew Murray has some amazing books out there. And I have been blessed by many of them. This book, however, was not one of them. There were some fine moments in this book. But the problem I have with this book is that it is really not about the Holy Spirit. If I had to guess I feel this is a collection of ten sermons turned into chapters and then collected in this volume. However, in spite of the title only three or four actually deal with the Holy Spirit and even then they are as a part of a larger discussion of a different topic. Maybe if I were not reading it as a study of the Holy Spirit would I have found this more edifying. Nothing bad about this book just not what it’s name advertised.
