The Master’s Indwelling contains 13 addresses first delivered by Andrew Murray during the Northfield Conference of 1895. The addresses, which he revised for publication, and they cover topics such as Christ’s humility, finding joy in the Holy Spirit, the importance of the inward life, walking daily with God in your heart, and much more.
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.”
These addresses are exceedingly suggestive in their teaching about the Christian life. They are deep yet lucid, broad yet scriptural, fervent yet philosophical, and they emphasize the experimental knowledge of God.
—The Congregationist
The deepening of the spiritual life was ever his favorite theme, and these are among his best efforts.

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.
