The Spirit of Christ Paperback – March 26, 2010

Are you a believer in Jesus? This book will deepen your relationship to Him through the Holy Spirit. According to Romans 8:9 the Holy Spirit is the 'Spirit of Jesus'. Do you wonder why you still struggle with sin? Then this book has the answer. The church in America has lost the power it once had. It is because it does not have the presence of God via the Holy Spirit. God created you to be a temple for the Holy Spirit. Just think, Jesus, the Creator of the universe wants to live in your human body. (John 17:26) Of course you need to accept His forgiveness and allow Him in. This book shows you how this is possible for all who believe. If you don't believe in Jesus, this book will tell you what having a personal relationship with Jesus means. This edition has about 70 pages of notes which give you even more insights. So make sure you get this one because newer editions are missing the notes.

Murray's teachings about the Holy Spirit are the most insightful I have ever encountered. I have learned incredibly much. More important, I have been inspired by his teaching and powerful prayers to ask God's help in applying everything I am learning. The substance of the book definitely rates a 5+. Be warned, however, that the book is not easy to read, and punctuation style even differs from today's rules. The book is written at a much higher reading level than books nowadays, in a King James style of speaking. I have had to read each chapter multiple times and write myself some notes to get the whole gist. However, it is so worth the extra time, and eventually I found myself moved by the more formal language.

This book is changing my life. I am only 1/3 of the way through. As someone who has dealt with personal mental illness for years, I have struggled with wondering how to experience a relationship with Christ when I can often not trust my thoughts or emotions. This book is helping me learn about how encountering the Spirit is not done through mind or body but in a different way altogether. This gives me such great hope! I give the content 5 stars, but only gave it 4 here because there are so many typos in this e-version that the already deep content requires extra thought to determine what words are actually meant to be there at times.

In my very early walk with the Lord, Absolute Surrender and Abide in Christ came to me...they changed my life. I have so many of his books when I saw this one, I had to have it. I hate to say that I have more trust in the saints/authors of old than I do the new ones. They received little money for what they did and it was not for money they wrote but to encourage and grow us in our Christian walk. His complete life was free of the inconsistencies we often see or hear now of the now Authors. Of course that may be due to our technology but in any event this is a man who truly walked humbly before His God.

I really like this book. I feel as a Christian I was sealed with the Spirit at conversion, but have always struggled with the concept of being "filled". That's the problem, I can wrap my mind around so many things in life but faith is not wrapping my mind around it.Let go of your thinking and prejudices and read this book in faith, in prayer and worship, and open your heart to hear something you may not be able to wrap your mind around.

I've read a large amount of Christian books by many authors. This small book absolutely torpedoed what I thought I understood about The Holy Spirit. I read just half a chapter a day and had to soak it in and felt sad when I finished. I cannot recommend it strongly enough nor can I fully explain the impact it's had on me other than to say it was life changing.

I read this book by Andrew Murray in the 1984 edition and it was excellent. So ordered eight more copies to give away. Unfortunately, this later edition has revised his writings and deleted the excellent summaries at the end of each chapter and the "Notes" section at the back of the book. I much prefer the 1984 edition. This one is confusing in some places because the editors tried to condense the book.

Interesting points made in this book and addresses the common issue of his day in the late 1800s, and you guessed it, things haven't changed one bit. If you've "Seen The LORD"...this books' for you.

As usual Murray speaks from the heart, very challenging book

this is another christian classic which recogonises the importance of christ in us and the fullness of the holy spirit,the reading of this book will inhance any christins spiritual life

A clear explanation of the various manifestations of the third Person of the Trinity.

Another wonderful book from Andrew Muray,one of many and I look forward to acquiring them

Very in-depth study.
