A 19th-century missionary statesman, revivalist, evangelist, and pastor, Andrew Murray is one of the best-loved and most widely read writers on the deeper life. Many of today's readers, however are unaware of the struggles and steps of faith which molded this servant of God into an exceptional teacher of faith, prayer and Spirit-filled living.
In this new Pure Gold Classic edition, by Andrew Murray, we have combined three great classic works: Waiting On God Working For God Be Perfect Together, these present a trilogy of blessed truth that will guide Christians into a deeper, more intimate, and more fulfilling relationship with the Lord. Each book is comprised of 31 chapters, or lessons, designed to be month-long daily readings. In this edition, each book builds upon the previous one in order to guide the reader to first wait upon God, in patient humility, for His will to be revealed in our lives; then to work for God, habitually, in His strength alone; and then to Bb perfect in heart and Christian maturity before God, "seeking to be perfect as their Father in heaven is perfect." Murray beautifully unfolds Biblical truths to show the believers in Christ that before they can seek to "be perfect" they must first surrender the will in complete dependence upon God's working, and become "co-laborers" with the Lord amidst the trials and tribulations of this world that the cause of His Kingdom and the glory of His name might be proclaimed. The message of the book is wonderfully summed up by Rev. Murray; "If God's purpose with the perfection of the individual believer is to be carried out, waiting and working for God must have much greater prominence given to it as the true glory of our Christian calling." "I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience..." (Rev 2:2). "It is God who girdeth me with strength and maketh my way perfect" (Psalm 18:32).
Eleven poems of George Herbert selected by Barbara Murray, and twenty-two poems by Barbara herself. With drawings by Guy Ottewell of Bemerton near Salisbury in England, where George Herbert was parish priest from 1630 to 1633."Most of Barbara Murray's] poems are, as true poetry is, driven by real feeling and crafted out of surprisingly found words. The first few . . . seem the most necessitated, meant, in any language; beside them, many other poems seem to be acts of play that could have been left undone."
Talks that will enable you to HEAR Andrew Murray preachIf you count Andrew Murray as one of your heroes of the faith, or have read some of his published works, then these six talks are sure to find a special place in your heart. They are basically word for word as he delivered them.˃˃˃ Andrew Murray at KeswickThree of these talks were delivered on consecutive evenings at the Keswick Convention of 1895 in the Lake District, England. They are unique to Keswick and differ in content from other sermons published under the same titles while on tour in America.˃˃˃ Andrew Murray at Exeter HallAfter arriving back from his preaching tour of America in the autumn of 1895, the organizers of his tour requested that he speak on prayer at a small gathering of full-time workers and interested Christians at Exeter Hall. The talks he gave on that occasion were originally published under the title Eagle Wings in 1895. They are among the best of his talks.˃˃˃ Two TestimoniesBoth testimonies were given at Keswick, and are the only testimonies that we know of. One was given in 1882, just after the miraculous healing of his throat, while the other was given at the Keswick Convention of 1895.
Bruce Murray Arnott: Into the Megatext provides the first comprehensive overview of one of South Africa’s most significant sculptors. His influence as an artist, scholar, designer, curator, and educator runs deep; intuited through the work of many of South Africa’s leading contemporary scholars and practitioners in the visual arts. Through an intrinsic understanding of the human condition, and the balancing of the intellect with creative endeavour, Arnott bridges continents, space, and time. This is reflected in the monumental scope of references embedded in his work, and in his view that "All sculptures are 'points of entry' into the great sculptural megatext." Similarly inspired by history, mythology, psychology, philosophy, education, ecology, and sustainable design, this publication serves as one such point of entry. It includes contributions by a range of authors who delve into different aspects of Arnott’s life’s work; a selection of Arnott’s own writings, chosen to represent the breadth and depth of his oeuvre; a chronological catalogue of Arnott’s sculptures from 1961 to 2018; and a visual timeline that contextualises his long and multi-faceted career.

Hankering to go, but needing to stayA true story about facing the challenges of Christian leadership in a volatile environment of political intrigue and church secessionTwenty-eight year old Andrew Murray has just married Emma Rutherfoord, the girl of his dreams, and is looking forward to resuming his ministry in Bloemfontein with her at his side. But he is barely back in town, when trouble strikes.The small, land-locked Orange Free State throws up a series of nail biting situations in which Andrew is called upon to play a central role. They include: The attempted take-over of the Orange Free State by Marthinus Pretorius, President of the Transvaal The devastation of Beersheba Mission during the Basuto War The secession of Psalm-singing (Dopper) members within his own congregation Antagonism towards his bilingual education program at Grey College The need to acquire Dutch teachers for his farm school project Notwithstanding all the tensions outside the home, there is also the 'small' matter of Andrew only knowing his wife Emma for about seven face-to-face weeks before he married her. So on the home front, Andrew finds himself having to navigate marriage with a wonderfully talented wife, but one who knows her own mind. Added to this is his growing desire to start over again in a new congregation. But although he hankers to go, there are responsibilities forcing him to stay--that is, until God has finished with his training.
