Product Description
The warmth of a deep relationship with God built on the bedrock of Biblical truth.

Born in South Africa, Andrew Murray (1828-1917) was sent to study in England at age 10. When he returned to South Africa as a pastor and evangelist, he led a revival that shook the country.

Murray's lifetime of work to deepen the spiritual life of Christians has touched the church worldwide through the legacy of his profound writings, including With Christ in the School of Prayer, Abide in Christ, and Raising Your Children for Christ. Less well-known is his involvement in church/state relations, theological debates, and the founding of universities. Murray's solidly biblical theology and fiery spiritual life made him a driving force behind the revivals of his day and a model of faithfulness for ours.

Meet the man behind some of the most beloved devotional classics of our times.

Well written and inspiring little book.Murray was a calvinist with a real devotion to Christ - that's enough of an endorsement for me to buy a biography.This quote from Andrew Murray in the book ought to sum it up:"I trust that our gracious God is bringing me somewhat to feel the necessity of an initmate experimental soul-knowledge of the precious truth to be proclaimed, and, above all, of that one glorious central truth - the amazing wonder of the love of a crucified Jesus." ...

Product Description
The thrilling story of a man whose simple obedience continues to help change the world!

As a boy during World War II, Brother Andrew was a messenger for the Dutch resistance movement, helping night and day to sabotage the Nazi control of Holland. Years later, while attending Bible college, he was challenged to the dangerous task of delivering Bibles in Eastern Europe. That story, as told in God's Smuggler, kindled a remarkable movement in the West to find ways to take the gospel where doors were considered shut.

As the Founder and International President of Open Doors, Brother Andrew and his worldwide mission organization support persecuted and threatened Christians in many places. For any reader who thinks the missionary age is over, the story of Brother Andrew will change their minds.

The challenging testimony of a man who refuses to believe that any country is closed to the gospel.

5-0 out of 5 stars Peace and Power is Found in Abiding with Christ!
I loved compiling and editing this book, and also making every effort to practice it's teachings!All five of my Andrew Murray "Believer's Secret" books are out of print, however.

Charles Finney and Andrew Murray wrote the best books on the Holy Spirit, Prayer, Revival, and Holiness that I have ever read.You cannot go wrong buying any Finney or Murray books published by Whitaker House!So I say again, thank God for Whitaker House!

I believe those of you who enjoy Finney and Murray will also enjoy "Prayer Steps to Serenity," which teaches truths that I learned from studying Finney and MurrayThe book follows a 12 Steps and Serenity Prayer format.It is available through Amazon, with ISBN 0595313043.If you know of anyone who is looking for a 12 Step devotional that will help them walk in the power of the Holy Spirit according to the scriptures, you can heartily recommend this book to them."Prayer Steps to Serenity" was not published by Whitaker House, and it is a larger than a trade paperback (a 9 inch by 6 inch paperback) that includes devotional readings, prayers to encourage you to keep on praying as the Holy Spirit leads, a personal Journey Guide (or workbook), and a Group Journey Guide for prayer and support groups."Prayer Steps to Serenity" is also supported by two websites that offer a lot of free guides and resources for those seeking more information about Christian recovery and starting Serenity Groups.Go to PrayerSteps.org or SerenityGroups.org for more information.

Thank you for reading!

Product Description
With the action and suspense of a Ted Dekker novel and the spiritual warfare of This Present Darkness, Olsen’s first solo novel poses an intriguing question. What if the Restrainer of II Thessalonians, the Holy Spirit who "holds back the lawless man until God takes him away," indwells a man who has lived under various identities since the time of Christ, always moving on when his "agelessness" is discovered? An immortal man, but still just a man, flawed and discouraged over his inability to better succeed at his immense mission: to restrain evil in the world. And what if at a time when the world hangs on the precipice of a third world war, this man were given one final opportunity to do battle with the Evil One? ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The Assignment
A fantastic book that I highly recommend. I have lent my original copy out so many times that I've lost track of where it might be currently.That is why I ordered another copy. Our book club has reviewed this twice (by popular demand) and it was just as good if not better the second time. You will be pleasantly surprised as the plot unfurls. I was.

5-0 out of 5 stars What a great book!
I just finished reading "Assignment"--Wow! What a great read! Olson has combined suspense and mystery masterfully. He kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the book. The plot was creative,and drew me in until I felt as if I was actually there in the background, watching the story unfold.I highly recommend this book to any lover of suspense, mystery and intrigue. Great job, Mr Olson!

5-0 out of 5 stars Hang On!
This is a can't put down suspense novel. Mr. Olsen hooked me from the beginning and left me wanting more of this good book.

Written in modern day times, the hero is constantly on the run to fulfill his quest. Forever caught in a type of time warp,the reader will wonder if the man will ever outrun his timeless enemy.

The thing I loved about this story is it is a supernatural thriller and believable, if you can believe that! I challenge you to pick it up for a non-stop ride of your life.

A great concept with a New Testament truth to back it up.Olsen shows amazing creativity and storytelling.A must-read suspense NOVEL despite the editing faux pas mentioned by another reviewer.

4-0 out of 5 stars A Solid Four
In THE ASSIGNMENT, Mark Olsen works his special magic at weaving a mystery into a thriller.The supernatural aspects of the story were brought in logically and seamlessly.The characters, most of them anyway, were very believable.

I did come across a couple minor things that kept me from giving him a 5.The key character, who I'll not name so you can still enjoy the story, makes mention that "It's not about the name on the sign in the front lawn that matters," when talking about Christianity.Yet he digresses into Catholicism, both for affect, I believe, and possibly personal preference.That's okay in and of itself.Yet, in doing so he destroys this very true statement about Christianity.It is NOT a religion, where as Catholicism is.The final showdown was diluted by the fact that one who has finally learned to trust in God and not in himself uses a Latin rite to be victorious.The book is fun, educational, thought provoking, but when he gets right up to that crucial point, in my opinion, he ruined an otherwise beautiful story.

Sorry, Mark.I love your work, but I couldn't let this go without comment. ... Read more

Product Description
Just below the surface among the family of God lives another family tree - one traced in spirit, invisible and ageless, known as the Watchers. For two thousand years they've seen beyond the veil separating this world from the next, passing on their gift through a lineage mostly overlooked. Throughout history they've scouted the borders of the supernatural frontier, but now their survival hangs by a thread. And their fate lies in the hands of a young woman, her would-be killer, and a mystery they must solve..."Congratulations. You just reached my own little corner of cyberspace. Who am I? Abby Sherman, that's who. Who are you? And why are you checking me out? Drop me a few pixels, and let's find out!"With that innocent invitation, Abby Sherman unwittingly steps in the crosshairs of history, and thus begins her harrowing tale - taking her from ocean-front Malibu to the streets of London, the jungles in West Africa, the Temple Mount, Jerusalem, and to the very gates of heaven itself! A sneak preview of eternity becomes her one-way ticket to danger - and discovery...Two lives collide in a globe-circling adventure involving both peril and discovery: Abby, a young woman whose visions of heaven turn her into a Web-celebrity; and Dylan, a troubled young man sent by an ancient foe to silence her.From California beachfronts to Nigerian rain forests to Jerusalem and back again, "The Watchers" is high-octane blends of action, mystery, and spiritual battle spanning centuries. A woman's awe-inspiring vision launches her on a quest through distant lands and ancient history, face-to-face with eternity and into the arms of a family line on the brink of annihilation...A man who is hired to exterminate her discovers the folly of blind loyalty, then learns how to wage war in a realm he never believed had existed...This book contains an extraordinary saga of the unseen war against evil, the reality of the supernatural, and the transforming power of forgiveness. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Against powers and principalities.
My daughter gave me this book for Christmas, not knowing what it was, but sinse 'mom" is Christian it would probably work.

Every one else has said something about the plot etc, so I won't even go there, just say that I read the book in almost one strecth, even at work when i shouldn't have.

BUT..... For anyone who has had an encounter with the living Jesus Christ, this book will tear you wide open in the most wonderful way.....

I sobbed my way through Abby's dream, When she finally beheld the hope of the world throughan old womans eyes.

I tried to read the passage to my 15 year old, but I wept too much.... it took me back to my own encounter with jesus, when I met him and KNEW that he was real....

Besides from the crying which happened several times during my reading, I finally got a real feel for what It means when the bible says we are fighting against powers and principalities, and that Satan is ruling the world...

An awesome book,and I cant wait to read the follow up.

ps. I saw the writer has written books with Tommy Tenney.... So to anyone reading this, : if you ever felt like you didnt really know jesus, but would like to, Read these books, because these men has without a doubt met the prince of Peace, My jesus.

3-0 out of 5 stars Interesting
This is not a book for the faint of heart.A little graphic violence but not too bad as you get engrossed in the story.This book is a cross between Frank Perretti's Piercing the Darkness and a novel by Ted Dekker.This is book one of a series.You do have to have an imagination to read this book as it deals with seeing angels and demons.The author's note at the end is interesting as he lets you know what places are real.

2-0 out of 5 stars Probably Never Read Another Olsen Book
I just finished reading Olsen's latest novel, The Watchers. I was hesitant at first. I kept seeing the book at Borders for twenty dollars but, after reading his earlier novel The Assignment, I wasn't ready to shell out that kind of money.

I found it at a local Ollies store and was surprised with how enjoyable the beginning was.

The Watchers tells the story of a girl named Abby who has had a dream where she's Anna from the Bible. It's this Anna who held Jesus as a baby (for those who care). Before we find out much about the actual plot, we read about this ruthless killer who's under orders to put Abby to death. He's already slaughtered the babysitter and he's standing over Abby's bed.

Then skip ahead; Abby's alive and decides to write on her social website not-so-cleverly titled MyCorner all about her dreams. For some reason hundreds, maybe even thousands, of girls have had the same experience.

Because of this dream, Abby goes on a global adventure to find the answers to her questions: why is she having these dreams, and -oh- what happened to her mother?

As with The Assignment, Olsen tells a story along the lines of a DaVinci Code just not as fast-paced. In both books, the story takes forever to get anywhere. He has characters give long sermons that kill any sense of timing.

The Watchers has a hidden message found within and that is the idea of spiritual heritage. Olsen wants his readers to attempt to find out how far back they can trace their family line - As with Abby she had to go to Africa, then to Israel to find the descendant of this Anna from the Bible.

Two novels from Olsen - two disappointments. I see he's going to create a series from this new book. The next one is called, The Warriors. I think I'll pass.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good paced Good VS Evil thriller
I enjoyed this. Plenty of action and it reads well. Enough spirituality for Christians, but not too preachy for those who aren't. Could be described as a 'lighter' version of This Present Darkness, but still on the same theme. Having said that spiritual warfare itself is I believe a serious, yet interesting subject. Very interested in reading the sequelThe Warriors (The Watchers Series #2). 4 stars for the potential to refine.

Writing to encourage believers, Murray desired that all Christians discover the abundant life in Christ available to those who pray fervently. Identifying prayerlessness as a serious sin of omission, he instructs sincere believers in how to be delivered from this sin and make prayer a priority, resulting in the blessing of renewed fellowship with Christ. Originally titled The Prayer Life, this devotional classic includes examples from the lives of the apostle Paul, George Müller, Hudson Taylor, and more. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Living an Abundant Christian Life ...
This book has changed my outlook on prayer.After reading it I agreed that prayer is not just a time before dinner or bed, but a way of life.It is a vital element to a Christian's life. I like to highlight books on profound subjects, which I started out doing with this book but found that there was very little left that was NOT highlighted!

The format is written in such a way that Andrew Murray is leading us page by page closer to an intimate prayer life with Our Savior.

It's worth reading this book slowly so that you can really think about what you've read & apply it to your life.Most of the chapters are a few pages so that you can do just that. To me, this book seems like it would be appropriate for more mature Christians, meaning Chrisitans who have a steadfast walk w/Jesus & are familar w/His Word.I could be wrong, maybe baby Christians will find it a blessing, but it may be too "meaty."

I loved this book & at this price I bought more as gifts. If you give it as a gift you may want to include a highlighter:-) ... Read more

Product Description
Writings that touch the pure-flaming heart of God-from the men and women who walked with Him through the ages-guiding into a deeper friendship with the "Father of Lights."

Jesus, the Captain of our salvation, waits to equip us for the frontline battles of spiritual warfare that rage over this world. How can we become tried and true "warriors in spirit" to win the battle for our own souls? And how can we help those around us who are surrendering hope, giving up on God, and falling? Andrew Murray was deeply engaged in this warfare for the lives and souls of men and discovered a source of spiritual power greater than all the darkness rising against him.

Andrew Murray (1828-1917) accepted the challenge to take the light of Christ to an area of Africa known for its "wild dogs and wilder men." In the midst of personal weakness and physically grueling work, he was soon attacked by liberal church leaders who wanted to stop the true life of the Spirit from spreading. In the center of this opposition, Andrew discovered the new "fire" from heaven that ignited dark hearts and destroyed spiritual strongholds. The spiritual strength can be ours today as we surrender ourselves to be swords of power in the hand of God.

This is a 30-day devotional on the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of those who believe that God has redeemed them through Jesus Christ.It's the most insightful book I have ever read in my 31 years of calling myself a Christian.The relationship of God the Father with his son Jesus, the Spirit-led life, and the role of the church are all discussed at some point or other with the main focus being on who the Holy Spirit is.Each devotional includes scripture, insights, a summary, and a prayer. I actually spend several days on each devotional, reading and re-reading, looking up accompanying scriputre, etc.

I highly recommend this book for everyone...seekers, those curious about Chritianity, life-long believers, church leaders, and especially new Christians.I also encourage those from other faiths who want to know what Christianity and the church should really look like to pick up this book and read it.It will give you a clear picture of what following God looks like at its core without the strappings and flavor lent to Christianity by culture, denomination, history, and worship style.At least that's my two bits. ...

This book was an excellent read.For me, it reminds me of written text of an old time gospel preacher. Murray preaches scipture with real life application.All in all he brings to life the text of the Bible and inspires the believer using the Gospel itself.

5-0 out of 5 stars Inspiring
Reading this book teaches, encourages, and convicts me of how short I fall, but it helps me realize I'm a work in progress.

4-0 out of 5 stars Andrew Murray, yes; Presentation, no
Anything Andrew Murray writes is excellent and five-star.However, recently, publishers have begun to scan and print without proofing.The result is missing words and letters, no proper paragraphs, or chapters, etc.The proposed intent is a more economical book, but this paperback was almost $15.00 and poorly done.Some of the Andrew Murray books (although not this one) have been rewritten into a presumably more readable text, but the fire that defines Andrew Murray is greatly lost.They are also renamed so that you can't tell if you have already purchased the original version.I like to know these things before I buy and these things aren't being presented outright nor is the publisher's page declaring the true facts being made available before purchase.Again, Andrew Murray is well worth reading, but if you are particular about these things research carefully.

5-0 out of 5 stars Transformational
This book is a must read....real Wisdom on how to live the abundant life today.Submission and obediance to Christ is the root of success.Meet the True God, His Truth and His Grace in this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Tremendous personal benefit . . .
Not only does Andrew Murray touch the very depth of our relationship with our Lord and Heavenly Father but, he gives specific detail as to how we must approach achieving that relationship.This book goes the extra step beyond telling the reader what he/she do by putting our prayer life into words that give our mind and spirit a means to get there.

We have often heard the expression that we must study harder or try harder but, we never get instruction as to how.Andrew Murray tells you how ! ... Read more

Product Description
When an al-Qaida email is intercepted, promising a New Year's Day attack on America, it leads to the capture of the group's leader. But even under fierce interrogation, the terrorist clings to his jihadist beliefs and resists divulging anything of the threat. Desperate, the Army resorts to a contingency paper that proposes to break a subject's resistance by inducing a religious conversion. One hitch: the top-secret attempt must be masked as an offer of clemency, and must rely on a completely innocent mentor, a so-called witness who is unaware of the project's true aims. They find that witness in Greg Cahill, a disgraced FBI agent who has since turned to Christ and serves in a prison ministry. Lured by an offer of restoration, as well as the lifting of a restraining order that's keeping him from seeing his son, Greg begins an unlikely friendship with a man the entire country despises. Despite himself, he begins to share his faith--yet with a combustible result unforeseen by either himself or his government handlers. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Good Motives! I Think I'll Keep Reading Olsen
Ok, is everydbody getting sick and tired of all the al-Qaeda novels that constantly stack the shelves? Maybe. But just suppose there is one out there, that has a catchy title. Should you go for it? Well, I did! And I'm glad I did. It gave me the opportunity to praise the skills of Mark Andrew Olsen. This took a little time getting into, and the ending was somewhat obvious, but it was still worth telling.

It is always us against them, and we always have to win. When Saddam was hanged, people were rushing to YOUTUBE to see if they could witness the execution before the video was blocked! Hey, I was one of them, and I loved it. That's sick, isn't it? I mean, we don't want to have anything to do with letting these guys get away with any more than they can.

An attack set for New Years is found out about. But when Omar Nirubi, a big-time leader is captured, and interrogation is pushed to the limit, they resort to one other option. And Greg Cahill is brought in. What we learn about Greg is that he is a man with a past, and not a very honorable one either. But he has come to know Christ, and he knows something about forgiveness. And he finds that he has things in common with Omar as the days go by. What can he learn from Omar? Better yet, can they learn anything from each other?

Mark Andrew Olsen is a stud this time around. And he had the guts to go for broke with this one. This is one novel where the message might not be so popular, yet almost reluctantly appropriate. Too many people still harbor hatred in ways that are unacceptable, and that isn't right! Tough love, forgiveness. Sound like too much? Well, too bad, because that's what is interlaced throughout this one! And I sure enjoyed it the whole way through. Thanks, Mark!

There is a LOT in the news right now about the use of various forms of torture to get viable information from terrorists.What if our government decided to not use physical torture, but decided to use spiritual "torture"? To friend and ultimately sway terrorists into changing their religion to Christianity as a way to find information.

This book delved into just that possibility!It was scarily possible scenario that truly will make you think about the possibilities for our future or what possibly could be going on right now!

5-0 out of 5 stars Loved this story. It's my kind of read!
Maybe I am a bit biased because I live in Sierra Vista and know people who work in psy-ops and intel on Ft. Huachuca. All of the details regarding the setting rang true for me. He had the facts down perfectly except for in one place. The one time it did snow here in the past six years it was more like one to two inches, tops. But that's forgiveable because my guess is he needed it for the plot. After all, it is fiction.

I love the psychology behind these types of stories, probably because that's the subject I majored in when I got my Bachelor's degree. Anyway, I found the story fascinating, especially the techniques used by the military to deal with highly classified situations. It reminded me of the Bourne Identity that way. Were the good guys always good guys? Or was it just until they got what they wanted and then they turned on you... I loved the implied messages, too. The media messes up things sometimes when they give out information prematurely and sometimes because of the security breach, people die. So true. Then they blame the military, who, of course, must pick a fall guy, at least that's how it's presented here. I found it very believable.

For me the best part of this story was the spiritual content. It's so true that people know when we are sincere and when we are not. People who don't know Christ are in search of the very thing we claim to have, but don't always show in our behavior. And, of course, God can use anyone and anything to change us for the better. Bottom line...you have to forgive yourself for others to see the forgiveness Christ has given you. Very well done!

The only weakness I saw in this book was the six year old's thinking and speech. A few times he sounded more like a ten year hold than a six year old. But that wasn't significant enough to taint the story for me. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be inspired by a story with a deep faith element. I love stories that make me think and make me want to share my faith more with people who seem "unreachable."

3-0 out of 5 stars Suspenseful military novel doesn't always thrill
Ulterior Motives by Mark Andrew Olsen is an intriguing and timely look at how the US handles terrorists. Greg Cahill is trying to reclaim his life from the disaster it became after an accidental shooting brought his career with the FBI to an end. He's lost his son and his wife, but found Jesus and uses his faith to bring those in jail to salvation. Omar Nirubi is on America's Most Wanted list as the successor to Osama bin Laden. When the US captures Nirubi and finds information about an impending terrorist attack, they need information out of him, but when regular torture techniques fail, something wildly different, unorthodox even, needs to be used to get the details about the plot before millions of Americans are killed. Greg and Omar are brought together, and their collaboration will determine the fate of the nation. Olsen's suspenseful novel took about 50 pages to really get moving. Initially the dialogue is a bit stilted and the action clunks, but once Nirubi is captured, the story quickly takes off and becomes a compelling read. Just recently waterboarding and black sites have been all over the news, and Olsen handles the issues fairly with an even hand. The ending was a bit too pat; the behind the scenes maneuvering that makes so many of these books fascinating is missing at the climax, leaving the reader feel a bit left out of the action.

Product Description
The Journey Toward Holiness

When Jesus "made himself nothing...taking the nature of a servant," He modeled for all believers true humility. Andrew Murray calls this "our true nobility" and "the distinguishing feature of discipleship." With insightful, penetrating clarity, Murray calls all Christians to turn from pride, empty themselves, and study the character of Christ to be filled with His grace.

Often called the best work on humility ever written, this edition has been edited for today's reader. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A Foundational Truth
For anyone who has been regenerated or born again with Jesus Christ this book is a foundational truth to start with.This is a great starting point to understanding how Christ modeled humility, love, servant-hood, towards the "one anothers" and the world.It is a must read before getting into ministry of any kind.This book helps reveal the motives of our hearts for what we do in ministry.In anything we do, the motive has to be ALL Him.We are to be reduced, lessen, made to nothing so He can be All in All in what ever we do.Since absolutely nothing is possible with man, the power Of the Holy Spirit, God, makes this impossibility a reality.Many of the Lord's truths can be unpacked in this little book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book
This book is excellent in understanding humility.It helped me to gain a deeper understanding of what it really means to be a Christian.

5-0 out of 5 stars Powerful
It's difficult to find teachings on Humility; perhaps because humility in the bibilical sence is so against the natural human state.This book is a must read but it will not ring well to the ears of a secular postmodernist.

5-0 out of 5 stars True Essence of Humility
Definitely a must read. This is different than Mahaney's humility because it is going to hit on humility from more of a theological stand point and give the reasoning behind why we are called to be humble and how it is achieved. This will not give you a list of rules and different things to try. It is going to immerse you into who Jesus Christ is and what His humility has done for us and what it does to us through the working of the Holy Spirit. If you don't have this book, get a copy and read it. We can never be reminded to often that we are all prideful, undeserving, and continually desperate for the humble exhaustive work of our God.

5-0 out of 5 stars Possibly my top all time book outside the Bible
I have long recognized that humility is a trait found in almost every man or woman used by God for any length of time as given to us in the Bible.However, I did not really understand what humility is all about. It is one of those things that you sort of recognize when you see the real thing, but it is hard to define or quantify.Andrew Murray was certainly used by God in my case, to lift the veil over this critical teaching.

Jesus Christ gave us the ultimate model of humility, as described in Philippians. Mr. Murray takes Scripture, and the life of the disciples and of Jesus Christ Himself to bring great clarity to a teaching that may be the most under taught area of the Bible, at least in the American church.

Do not miss this blessing.I have read the book over and over, trying to get it into my head, heart, and feet.I have probably given away 10 or more copies of this book.It has blessed me richly. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Spiritual Enlightenment
This is a very enlightening book on spiritual principles.The breakdown of each aspect of the Spirit of Christ proved to be a treasure chest of knowledge and understanding that has helped me immensely.Andrew Murray challenges readers to dig deeper in faith to find a reality of what the Spirit of Christ really is!

5-0 out of 5 stars a tremendous book, covering every aspect of the Holy Spirit!
The Spirit of Christ by Andrew Murray, even though originally written in the late 1800's, explores all aspects of the Holy Spirit. It helps the reader to discover God's purpose for the Holy Spirit in the believer'slife.It is bibically accurate, though many times biblical references arenot acknowledged so a familiarity with Scripture is useful when reading TheSpirit of Christ.I highly recommend it to any believer of Christ whowants to learn more about the indwelling Spirit. ...

Simply put, the information contained within this book is good information BUT it appears to have not been proof read prior to type setting and printing. I bought 2 copies of the same book, both had numerous errors each page making it hard to read.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Blood of Jesus
The book as product is as described, excellent condition.It was received within an acceptable period.

The subject matter of the book - The Blood of Jesus and Its power in the lives of those who are believers - was presented in the admirable manner characteristic of Andrew Murray.The book clearly indicates that Murray was a very prayerful man who was very close to the Lord Jesus.

I highly recommend this book to believers in the Person of Jesus and in His ineffable love for each of us.

5-0 out of 5 stars Holy Ghost Fire
This writer is full of the Holy Ghost and led by the Spirit of God.The power of the blood of Jesus is one of our strongest weapons against the devil so reading this book arms us and gives us our protection.Amen.

4-0 out of 5 stars Strong Meat
This was the third Murray book I have been privileged to read, and won't be the last. As always, he skirts the shallow subjects plaguing modern Christian writings, and plunges into a deep, meaningful subject.

He discusses appropriating the blood by faith, and why the blood of our Lord is so powerful. One of the subjects which most impressed me was that of the effect the blood has on the diposition of a believer when he takes communion. It is powerful because it works in him the same self-giving nature which was in our Lord Himself.

A must read for believers hungry for the depths of Christ. Now however, I must forewarn you that this book will not entertain you. In fact, you may find the first three chapters to be slow, as I did. However, almost each chapter ends with tremendously powerful prayers and meditations of the subject just discussed.

Truly a magnificent work which will undoubtedly have powerful repercussions in your life. Read it twice!

5-0 out of 5 stars A Bood whose reading defeats the enemy.
In these days, many who hold authoritative positions in the various ministries in the church avoid discussion of the Blood of Jesus and the mighty name of Jesus.Little wonder the church is powerless today and many passionate Christians are opting out of the church experience.
Read this book.Make the blood of Jesus your foremost thought since that is what enables you entrance into the Kingdom of God.Interlace your conversation with the blood of Jesus.Tell men of the blood of Jesus.There is nothing more powerful and dreadful to the enemy.The Gospel, which neccesarily is based upon the blood of Jesus, spoken by you, with effectual fervent prayer, issues utter defeat to the enemy. ...
