"My Lord, O King, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have." Words of absolute surrender with which every child of God ought to yield himself to his Father. If our hearts are willing for that, there is no end to what God will do for us, and to the blessing God will bestow.'How many times have you left a prayer meeting or revival service determined to dedicate every area of your life to God, only to feel frustrated and defeated a few days later' We all want to be absolutely surrendered to God, and yet we hardly dare utter the words. We don't exactly know how. Andrew Murray clearly and simply explains full surrender to God and shows the way to a victorious life in Him. |

Surrender and Let God Have His Way With You!Oct 06, 2003
By Michael Taylor
"Michael Taylor"
Reading this book will help the Christian enter into a deeper maturity and understanding of a personal relationship with the Lord.Among the many excellent points Murray mentions are: 1. God will answer our prayers if we are totally surrendered to Him.
2. We must have unbounded trust in God and His goodness.
3. God is able to pour His love into our hearts so we may in turn love others.
4. Live in the power of the Holy Spirit and not your own flesh!
5. What we cannot do, God can do!
6. The Apostle Peter had to be humbled before he was used greatly by God.
7. We must live in utter dependence and trust in God.
8. Everything will be alright when we absolutely surrender to Christ. Read the book and be encouraged to walk deeper with Jesus!

The title says it all!Aug 17, 2001
By Rocco B. Rubino
"Rocco R."
Like many Christians, you began in the Spirit; God wooed you from a life of sin and self, and you gave your life to Him. Yet somehow your life in Christ that began in the Spirit, you think will be perfected by your efforts. You have somehow confounded the invitation of our Savior to "Abide in Him" as a command coming forth from Mt. Sinai; i.e. something that you have to do in response to His call. Pastor Murray gives us the simple, yet profound remedy for successful Christian living; Absolute Surrender. When we present our bodies as a living sacrifice unto God, He is able to accomplish what He promised He would do in our lives. Nothing less than Absolute Surrender will do.

A life-changing book for every surrendered Christian.Mar 19, 1999
By laura.k.coleman@ac.com
This book is very encouraging for every believer that desires to surrender their life completely to Christ. Murray comforts us by emphasizing that the work of sanctification and surrender rests on the shoulders of Christ himself, not us. Even in fear and trembling, when we surrender our lives to Christ for His glory, He accepts our surrender and sees it to completion. Amen! A must read!

See how surrender becomes victory!Apr 09, 2004
By radical
Murray challenges us with the uncompromising truth that God calls for nothing less than our total surrender to Him, yet also comforts us with the uncompromising truth that we are powerless to do so...that we must allow God, in His grace, to do for us all that He requires. We must become nothing in ourselves so God can be everything, and only by His power can we hope to forget ourselves and come to know Him. The text is easy to read, which makes it all the more impossible to dismiss. Absolute surrender is difficult not because we don't understand what Murray means, but because we do. Each chapter is well organized, and the book culminates with a clear account of the parable that God the Father is the Vinedresser, Jesus Christ is the Vine, the Holy Spirit is the Life of the Vine, we are the branches and the promise of the Kingdom is in the grapes.

Life-Changing!!!Oct 28, 2006
By Suzanne Elaine Smith
This book absolutely changed my life!!! ..... As I was reading it -- the Holy Spirit was ever present ....... and I was on my knees in reverent prayer to God at the end of the book. God reaches out to everyone in different ways - and this book was one of those ways for me. I was so touched and moved - that I bought copies for everyone in my Bible Study group. I cannot recommend this book enough.
