Publisher Description

In this new Pure Gold Classic edition, by Andrew Murray, we have combined three great classic works:

Waiting On God
Working For God
Be Perfect

Together, these present a trilogy of blessed truth that will guide Christians into a deeper, more intimate, and more fulfilling relationship with the Lord. Each book is comprised of 31 chapters, or lessons, designed to be month-long daily readings.

In this edition, each book builds upon the previous one in order to guide the reader to first wait upon God, in patient humility, for His will to be revealed in our lives; then to work for God, habitually, in His strength alone; and then to Bb perfect in heart and Christian maturity before God, "seeking to be perfect as their Father in heaven is perfect." Murray beautifully unfolds Biblical truths to show the believers in Christ that before they can seek to "be perfect" they must first surrender the will in complete dependence upon God's working, and become "co-laborers" with the Lord amidst the trials and tribulations of this world that the cause of His Kingdom and the glory of His name might be proclaimed. The message of the book is wonderfully summed up by Rev. Murray; "If God's purpose with the perfection of the individual believer is to be carried out, waiting and working for God must have much greater prominence given to it as the true glory of our Christian calling."

"I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience..." (Rev 2:2).

"It is God who girdeth me with strength and maketh my way perfect" (Psalm 18:32).

Author Biography

South African pastor and author Andrew Murray (1828--1917) was an amazingly prolific writer. Murray began writing on the Christian life for his congregation as an extension of his local pastoral work, but he became internationally known for his books, such as With Christ in the School of Prayer and Abide in Christ, that searched men's hearts and brought them into a deep relationship with Christ. Writing with an intensity of purpose and zeal for the message of the gospel, Murray wrote numerous books even after his "retirement" at age seventy-eight.
