Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Believer's Secret of the Abiding Presence
Andrew Murray · 1987
84/100
👍 Worth It
Pairing Andrew Murray with Brother Lawrence for a 31-day devotional is genuinely inspired — two voices separated by centuries who share the same urgent longing for moment-by-moment awareness of God. The practical focus keeps it from floating into abstraction, and the dual-commentary structure gives each day real texture. Serious devotional readers will find it quietly transformative.
