Andrew Murray (1828–1917) was a South African writer, teacher, and Christian pastor who is best known for his devotional writings. Born into a missionary family, Murray was committed to the Christian faith from an early age. He was educated in Scotland and the Netherlands before returning to South Africa, where he involved himself intensively in pastoral and educational work. Murray authored over 240 books and tracts; these often centered on prayer, faith, and the deeper Christian life. His writing is characterized by a profound sense of piety and a deep reliance on the inner workings of the Holy Spirit. A seminal work, 'HUMILITY - The Journey Toward Holiness,' encapsulates his theological stance that humility is the essence of true Christianity and the foundational attribute of a sanctified life. Murray's literary approach was simple yet profound, emphasizing the importance of surrendering to God and living a life of service and devotion. His legacy persists in the Christian community, his works still being read and his influence felt among those who value a deep and committed spiritual life.
