The message that The Full Blessing of Pentecost brings is simple but most solemn. It is that the one thing needful for the Church, the thing that, above all others, men ought everywhere to seek with their whole heart—is to be filled with the Spirit of God. “It is as we are convicted of the defectiveness of our faith in Christ, and what he has promised to do in saving and helping us from sin, and as we understand that believing in him means yielding up of the whole heart and life and will, to let him rule and live within us, that we can confidently count upon receiving all that we need of the Holy Spirit’s power.”
In the Logos edition, all Scripture passages are tagged and appear on mouse-over. For scholarly work or personal Bible study, this makes these texts more powerful and easier to access than ever before. With the advanced search features of Logos Bible Software, you can perform powerful searches by topic or Scripture reference—finding, for example, every mention of “holiness” or “John 15:1–2.”

Praise for the Print Edition
It must be the prayer of every thoughtful Christian, that there may be more of the surrender, the faith, the devotion to Christ, to which Dr. Murray leads us, that there may be a consequent enjoyment of ‘the full blessing of Pentecost.’

About Andrew Murray
Andrew Murray (1828–1917) was born in Graaff Reinet, South Africa, to Dutch missionary parents. Educated at King’s College, Aberdeen, he then studied theology at the University of Utrecht. Andrew and his older brother John were ordained in the Dutch Reformed Church in 1848. Murray pastored South African churches in Bloemfontein, Worcester, Cape Town, and Wellington. A champion of missionary work, he founded the South African General Mission in 1889. That ministry continued to grow, and today it is part of the SIM (Serving in Mission) organization.
A prolific author and lecturer, Murray authored over 200 books during his lifetime, and he was invited to speak at churches and conferences all over the world. Married for over 60 years and the father of eight children, Murray passed away in January 1917.
