A Broad Review of Andrew Murray's Humility Fran Rogers

"Terrifying" and "verifying" are two words that could be used to describe the extremes that are revealed in Andrew Murray's book on Humility. "Terrifying" is the thought of the nature of pride in the human life. "Verifying" is the reality of the supernatural work of God's Spirit that overcomes pride in the heart, so that a person can live in the new state of humility. The purpose for Christ's humility and sacrifice was to bring this humility from heaven to earth. Twenty years of reading and studying Murray's book led the author of A Broad Review to share how the important truths of his teachings have affected her own life, and to challenge others to embrace these truths as God's way of working in their lives. In each of the twelve chapters, emphasis is placed on the most strategic lessons with the encouragement to memorize certain truths that will apply to any generation. For the author, the most memorable thought from Murray's book was, "Accept every humiliation; look upon every fellow-man who tries or vexes you, as a means of grace to humble you."
