The Prayer Life

By Andrew Murray

In “The Prayer Life,” noted Christian author Andrew Murray addresses the problem of prayerlessness, a problem that knows no generational boundaries. Murray cuts to the heart of the problem, offering suggestions which, if followed, will have a serious impact on the life of the earnest reader. Murray explains that, since prayer is an outgrowth of abiding in Christ, prayerlessness is fundamentally a lack of abiding rather than simply a lack of prayer. “The Prayer Life” is a challenging call to a deeper Christian experience, out of which will naturally flow a life of prayer. Much more than a book on how to pray, “The Prayer Life” is a book on how to have a deeper spiritual walk.

Andrew Murray

ANDREW MURRAY (1828-1917) was a church leader, evangelist, and missionary statesman. As a young man, Murray wanted to be a minister, but it was a career choice rather than an act of faith. Not until he had finished his general studies and begun his theological training in the Netherlands, did he experience a conversion of heart. Sixty years of ministry in the Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa, more than 200 books and tracts on Christian spirituality and ministry, extensive social work, and the founding of educational institutions were some of the outward signs of the inward grace that Murray experienced by continually casting himself on Christ. A few of his books include The True Vine, Absolute Surrender, The School of Obedience, Waiting on God, and The Prayer Life.

Reviews for The Prayer Life

[seoulful · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

There are many helpful things that Andrew Murrary has to say in this book, but I will fasten only upon his explanation of the necessity of a willing heart to obey and do what the Word teaches before understanding can happen. "In life, in science and art, in business, the only way of truly knowing, is doing. What a man cannot do he does not thoroughly know. The only way to know God is through the doing of his will. That proves whether it is a God of my own sentiment and imagination that I confess, or the true and living God who rules and works all. In the quiet of the inner chamber in the spirit in which I do my private Bible reading, in the determination with which I seek to have this point absolutely and finally settled that I am going to do whatever God says, that the awful self-delusion of hearing and not doing must be conquered." The power of Andrew Murray lies in the fact that he approached the Bible with this attitude and determination to be a doer and not a hearer only.
