Many a faithful Christian has pondered over Jesus' command in John 15: "abide in me." Compelled by the invitation but baffled by how to practically achieve it, they fail to grasp the power and promise within the Savior’s most important command.
South African pastor, teacher, and writer, Andrew Murray, (1828-1917) believed that abiding was the highest call for every Christian; the key to pressing beyond the mere threshold of salvation into the fullness of all that Jesus’s death & resurrection secured.

Written to be read and re-read, this short book is a timeless guide to the fullness of Jesus’ words in John 15, how to appropriate their power, and how to live the life of abiding every day.
“Therefore, my brother, who would learn to abide in Jesus, take time each day, ere you read, and while you read, and after you read, to put yourself into living contact with the living Jesus, to yield yourself distinctly and consciously to His blessed influence; so will you give Him the opportunity of taking hold of you, of drawing you up and keeping you safe in His almighty life.”
Andrew Murray (1828-1917) was a South African pastor, author, missionary, and revivalist. An exceptional Bible teacher and prolific writer and thinker, Murray penned more than 240 books and tracts in his lifetime. All of his works champion the Christian's surrender to God and the Holy Spirit's infilling as paramount for true Christian life and work. His legacy endures – not only through his writing, but also through the missions organization which he founded, known today as Serving In Mission.
