Andrew Murray, born in 1828, was raised in South Africa, received his master’s from Aberdeen University and pursued theological training at Utrecht University in Holland, where he was ordained in 1848. Murray went from being a discouraged young minister at age 25 to becoming one of the all-time best-loved writers on the deeper Christian life. In his 88 years he wrote over 240 books and tracts, including classics like Humility, The Secret of Intercession and Abide in Christ, which have been read by millions and continue to transform lives today.
