In clear, easy-to-understand language, this 1895 work discusses: . how the fruit of the Spirit is love . how what is impossible with man is possible with God . how believers are kept by the power of God . and more. Seekers after spiritual succor continue to find soulful sustenance and encouragement in this work more than a century after it was first published. A South African of Scottish ancestry, Dutch Reformed Church minister ANDREW MURRAY (1828-1917) was a prolific writer, publishing more than 200 books and pamphlets, including The School of Obedience and The Deeper Christian Life.
