Synopsis

Excerpt from The Ministry of Intercession: A Plea for More Prayer

Have been asked by a friend, who heard of this book being published, what the difi'erence would be between it and the previous one on the same subject, witii christ IN the school or prayer. An answer to that question may be the best introduction I can give to the present volume. Any acceptance the former work has had must be attributed, as far as the contents go, to the prominence given to two great truths. The one was, the certainty that prayer will be answered. There is with some an idea that to ask and expect an answer is not the highest form of prayer. Fellowship with God, apart from any request, is more than supplication. About the petition there is something of selfishness and bargaining - to worship is more than to beg. With others the thought that prayer is so Often unanswered is so prominent, that they think more Of the spiritual benefit derived from the exercise of prayer thanthe actual gifts to be obtained by it. While admitting the measure of truth in these views.

About this title

About the Author:

Andrew Murray became a noted missionary leader, writer, and pastor. 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 serves to explain his ecumenical spirit. Murray considered missions to be the chief end of the church. This led to ministry to blacks in the Transvaal and Malawi regions. He was a leader of the South African Revival of 1860. In addition to his evangelistic tours in South Africa, he spoke at the Keswick and Northfield Conventions, making a great impression upon his audiences. For his contribution to world missions he was given honorary doctorates by the universities of Aberdeen and Cape of Good Hope. Andrew 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 over 240 books explain how he saw this devotion working in the life of the Christian. Over the years he has influenced thousands. Several of his books have become devotional classics.
