Absolute Surrender

I just finished the audiobook. I love the idea of absolute surrender to Christ. But what really struck me in the book was this idea that God wants to save us from all our sin. Up to now, I believed that God was capable of it (God can do anything) but he was somehow unwilling to grant Christians to be holy and righteous until Jesus's return. I always wanted God to take my sins but never expected him to take all of them. Here's the quote from the book:

God’s keeping is all-inclusive, and everyone who longs to live a holy life needs to think of all their needs, all their weaknesses, all their shortcomings, and all their sins and ask, “Is there any sin that my God could not keep me from?” Your heart will have to answer, “No; God can show more keep me from every sin.” show less

Synopsis: Andrew Murray (1928-1917) is consider by many to be one of the greats of Christian Teaching. The author of more than 50 books and numerous other works, Murray wrote with a plain and passionate urgency to Christians, encouraging and exhorting them to serve God to the Abandonment of all else. This particular work discusses that in his classic prose - simple and profound.

Review: As with Murray's other works, this is superb. Murray has the rare talent of speaking with both grace and firmness. He does not mince words, or pander to the ego but speaks plainly of what is expected of a Christian. And yet, there is no judgement in his words, but a deep compassion for his reader.
As for this particular work, he calls the Christian to show more seriously examine their life and root out any areas that do not completely conform to the life Christ has called Christians to live. With practical advice and loving encouragement, Murray inspires the reader to dig deep into their Life with Christ and surrender all things.
A must-read for the serious disciple of Christ, and worth the time.

Note: ChristianAudio offered this book as their Free Download in March 2019. The Audio version was well-done, with clear narration and diction. Although it may no longer be free, I would recommend the audio version offered by ChristianAudio as an excellent way of hearing the teachings of Murray. show less
