Dying to Self

This classic Christian book combines the work of two famous authors from the past: Andrew Murray (a famous South African preacher and writer born in the 1800s) and William Law (a priest from the Church of England born in the 1600s). In it, Andrew Murray provides commentary on the work of William Law which tackles a very difficult subject for many Christians: dying to self. First published in the 1800s, "Dying to Self" is one of Murray's (and Law's) lesser known works. Though written many years ago, Murray's comments on Law's insightful text have been "pure gold" to the hearts of numerous readers. The conversational style of the book between two people (Eusebius and Theophilus) seeking further enlightenment on the topic was written by Law, with explanations provided by Murray. Law's wisdom, combined with Murray's commentary, makes for an excellent treatment of the subject which will be especially helpful to Christians who don't fully understand what "dying to self" really means. The good news, as Murray so expertly points out, is that this "dying to self" can and will be wrought by the Spirit of God when we surrender to Him. Fans of Murray's book on Hebrews ("The Holiest of All") will recognize that "Dying to Self" further clarifies Murray's teachings as expounded in that book.
