 Andrew Murray's Works

I have been blessed by some of Andrew Murray's teachings. I am amazed at how much he wrote. If you look on amazon it just seems like never-ending titles of books. It makes me wonder if his materials are getting published by different publishers who are changing the titles of books but a lot of the content is the same. Or maybe even sometimes the same publisher doing this. I know this type of thing can happen.

I also know there are some compilation volumes. Does anybody have some kind of reference about Murray's works? Like a comprehensive listing?

Also, wouldn't it be nice if he had a "Complete Works"? I feel like it would sell real well. There seems to be a lot of respect for this man's writings throughout different streams in the Church.

 Re: Andrew Murray's Works

That is a great idea and vision brother. Why don't we build a comprehensive list here in this thread? One problem if figuring out if new books that are being published are duplicates of older ones just with new titles. I know many publishing companies switch the titles of murray's books. Also I believe many of his books if not all are all public domain, that means they can be re-sold without permission in most cases. I used to own alot of early 1900 copies of his books, I still have a few in my home in Toronto.

EDIT: "444 results for Andrew Murray" on a search at amazon, this could take a while to figure it out and research. But I think its a great idea brother.

 Re: Andrew Murray's Works

I agree, Todd. I have also wished for a "complete works" of Andrew Murray's books. I would jump at the chance to buy such a set. I have recieved untold help from Murray's books.

One bit of advice I would give you regarding his titles - very many of those 400+ books you find on Amazon are part of a large series with fancier covers that have been "edited for the contemporary reader." Whatever that means, I wouldn't even bother with these. Besides the fact that I just don't want other people editing what I read and tampering with classics, I have looked at several and found entire chapters missing.

I do have a list of Andrew Murray's books as published in his "official biography". I'll post it a little later.

 Re:

Also, I've checked and it looks like the edited editions are being published by Whitaker House and Bethany House. I was going to recommend CLC, but I'm disappointed to see that even they are now publishing "edited" editions! Argh! So frustrating! Still, I do think they are your best bet. You can see what they have here:

It looks like they make you aware of which ones are edited in the description (the other publishers do not).

Regards,

"Andrew Murray
(1828-1917)

"The great bane of all our converse with Divine things is superficiality. When we read anything
and understand it somewhat, we think that this is enough.

No: we must give time, that it may make an impression and wield its own influence upon us.
Read every portion the first time with consideration, to understand the good that is in it, and then see if you receive benefit from the thoughts that are there expressed.

Read it the second time to see if it is really in accordance with God's word... ponder them in order to come under the full force of what God has said on the point...

Read it then the third time to find out the corresponding places,not in the Bible, but in your own life,in order to know if your life has been in harmony with the New Life, and to direct your life for the future entirely according to God's word...

Only give Him time to hold converse with you and to work in you, and your heart shall overflow with the blessedness of God."

-from "THE NEW LIFE" ---Words of God for Young Disciples of Christ
by Andrew Murray

 Re: I have these Andrew Murray books in HTML format

Thank you all for your help. So I'm not the only one confused by all of this Murray madness. That's kind of relieving and kind of frustrating. How did this happen?

I appreciate the lists that have been offered, but it seems unlikely that we will be able to offer an authoritative listing like this. Because it's been said that even some of the same titles have been edited, and how are we to know? This could take awhile to figure out.

I'm also curious, why wouldn't the list in Murray's biography be comprehensive of all his works? That would have been very helpful. Why would they leave anything out?

Also, I'm hoping to also list some of the compilation volumes. Such as "Andrew Murray on Prayer" which I understand has 6 of his books in one volume.

I understand it includes:

1. Abide in Christ
2. The Prayer Life
3. Waiting on God
4. With Christ in the School of Prayer
5. The Ministry of Intercession
6. The Secret of Intercession

I also believe that "God's Best Secrets" is a compilation volume but I'm not sure what books are included in it.

I also believe there are other compliations like this. It would be helpful if anyone could list them.

I have about 10-12 original old copies of his books, perhaps the safest bet is to hunt down orgininal copies of his books and compile and orginal listing that way. Man would I love to be able to re-publish his works under the banner of SermonIndex. It would be a big task though. But what a blessing it would be. I love the simplicity of the way that the T. Austin sparks complete works are being published by this small church in america. It would be neat to copy their method and do it cheaply and simply for the public to be blessed with them.

 Re:

Greg,

I think that would be great if you were able to publish a nice set of Murray's complete works. I believe I would buy them if the price was reasonable. I wonder how much that would cost. Like $150 for a whole set?

I have heard different things about TAS's works being published. I think I remember some people saying he never wanted his works to be sold for profit of something so they are upset about it. But I'm not really sure about the situation. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Maybe I'm thinking of something else.

Is there an authoritative list of TAS's complete works? I've seen some of the volumes, but I don't think I've seen a whole set advertised for sale. I am interested in buying his works as well.
