Hoewel ik enige reserves heb ten opzichte van de theologie van Murray -in het bijzonder zijn Keswick theologie die uitgebreid besproken wordt in het boek- heeft dit boek me tijdens het lezen vaak op de knieën gebracht. Het leven van Murray spoort indringend aan tot een inniger leven met God, een leven van gebed en een leven volledig in dienst van Zijn koninkrijk.

This was a wonderful and engaging read about the great preacher, writer, and missionary Andrew Murray. The research of the author was deep and she was clearly a large fan of Andrew Murray and his family due to her expansive biographical snippets about different roles and influences that he has during his years. My main critique was that there were a few too many chapters about each individual stage of life and role that made it feel a bit more topical than chronological or genre related. Either way, I hope that I can love a life even 10% as spiritually attuned as Andrew Murray. His absolute surrender to God's day by day will for his life and endurance to obey the call is inspiring!
