God's Best Secrets: Devotions for the Hungry Soul

I recently went through my Dad’s books to see what I wold like to keep after his death. I picked up Raising Your Children for Christ by Andrew Murray. I was hooked! So I asked my Mom if Dad had more Murray books. She gave me God’s Best Secret and a commentary on Hebrews. What a treasure of godly advice and a pleasure to read! I plan on collecting all his books and I am giving them to my family and friends.

I was first introduced to this little book over twenty years ago. Dr. Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, mentioned it in an audio tape, saying, "I usually don't recommend daily devotionals, but one has changed my life: Andrew Murrey's "God's Best Secrets." I have a well-worn hard-bound copy of the twenty-first printing (1976) that I keep coming back to and using as my daily meditation over several others by such luminaries as A.W. Tozer and J. Sidlow Baxter. Great as those are, Murray's book is simply the best--a well of faith-building insights that never runs dry. If you are evangelical in your theology, do yourself a favor and start the new year (the new millennium as I write this) with this book daily in hand.

This book is a daily cleanser for the soul. Reading just one devotional a day helps you to seek the Lord all day long. Andrew Murray does a great job on helping people realize that they need to come to God everyday and spend time with Him. It has really helped me do this, and, on top of that has brought me to a closer, more personal, relationship with God. This book covers many secrets on how to live a more profound Chritian walk. It's a great book to read over and over again because there's so much to get out of every devotional.
