A few months ago I found this ratty old
book with its cover torn off and my fathers name handwritten in the front. Because I hardly knew my Dad but had heard
that he was a man of God who desired to see the Spirit poured out, I decided to
read the book as a way to get some insight into my fathers world at that
time. Well the book was called, “With
Christ in the School of Prayer”, its pages were yellow and the old English font
and language was a challenge, but I ploughed through it, feeling my spirit
quicken to the time tested truth he penned.
As I read, I thought about my own father reading these words 3 decades
earlier and I was so inspired that I thought, ‘other people should be able to
read it.’ I had never heard of Andrew
Murray but thought his words were so profound that I should blog the chapters
so others could enjoy the revelation they offered. I tried to lose some of the old English and
not to further weaken the structure of the ratty old book as I copied the first
few chapter from the tiny size 8 font and was enjoying reading it through again
as I went.
Then, another day while wandering around
Koorong, I noticed an Andrew Murray book, in facts dozens of them and realized
that this man was not a ‘little known’ teacher of the word but an author who
needs absolutely no introduction from me.
Hence I have ceased to copy that tired little book but recommend his
work to anyone who wants to see their prayers answered. If you are not happy to pray for the sake of
it, get into Koorong and buy, “With Christ in the School of Prayer”, by Andrew
Murray - $8 and start praying! Thanks
Dad
