I purchased this book to read when I was on a trip to Thailand this past November. I wanted to study a different type of devotional-style book, and boy did I ever! This book could be used as a text book if it were printed in a different format, it's just THAT good.
The author touches on learning to pray - not just having a "git'r done" attitude, but to actually kneel and wait for God to give you the things He wants you to pray about..Actually being still and quiet, and having a conversation with...more

This is my all-time favorite book. Set up as 31 short chapters, it can be used as a daily devotional or just picked up and enjoyed whenever you need a spiritual lift. It has often sustained me through trials, and helped me to view things differently, knowing that God is in control and that trust, faith and patience in His perfect timing is all I need. But most of all, a great feeling of peace envelops me each time I read a passage.
again, they don't have my cover :/ it is from 1983
It has been said that it takes 30 days to change or add a habit.
If this is true and works for all, then we are basically renewing our minds to a new thing.
This book uses 31 chapters, which I laid out to read 1 a day for the month of October. As I was reading this I realized I was adding a principle of waiting on God to my mindset. The idea is WAITING, not expect it right away or before I need it, but wait on God for His perfect timing. This was...more

Aside from the Bible this book has had the biggest impact in my life. Our greatest place of safety is waiting for God. Our greatest challenge in the waiting is under estimating the blessings that God gives to us while we wait on Him - this book was life transforming for me...during the waiting my heart learned while I thought I was waiting for God to bless me with AB or C he was patient until I understood " He is my exceedingly great reward." I hear Him now even in the silence.
This is a thrity-one days devotional on Waiting on God. Andrew Murray uses various verses on waiting on God and explains what and how we should wait on God.
This book nudges and encourages us to move into a deeper place with God by waiting on Him.

This book continues to transform me. As my friend who recommended it said, you can't just read it once to get the full effect. You need to keep reading it and the words open up a new way of thinking and living.
Ranks near the top of my most beloved devotional helps. AM is so warm and inviting, yet he challenges me with the bold truth. A treasure that I keep returning to.
This was life changing for me. I read it during a time of intense change and it helped me to hang tight to the sovereignty of God when I was shaking.
This book was so meaningful to me during a painful time in my life. Such Spirit-filled words of encouragement, hope, and conviction!

This book is skinny, but man, is there a lot of good information in it. It should be twice its size for the worth that pours out of it. For someone who is not patient by nature and tends to want everything NOWNOWNOW!, Murray offerred quite a bit of help.

I was given this book a camp I attended in high school. Not a huge fan from what I remember while reading.
One of the most encouraging books I've ever read. It's one to pick up time and time again.
This is as timely now as the day it was written. Worthy of much further study. One of my favorites.
A complete life changer. Wonderful.
I've read and re-read this book over the years and have found it a valuable tool in focusing on truly waiting on God. Using it as a daily devotional gives me direction and insight! I recommend it to anyone seeking and struggling in their efforts to wait on God!
I have been reading day 11 for about a week and a half- I just love Andrew Murray- I think I will be reading through this for the next several months, chewing on it, praying about it- so good!
I will definitely read this book again. I have already returned to it several times to read an entry which particularly touched me.
I am planning to read all of Andrew Murray's books.

I've read this book several times as a devotional and continue to be drawn back. It's a wonderfully sweet book that helps me process waiting with the right attitude.
what a great book for the Advent season! This is one of the best books on the subject of "waiting" - a subject which pretty much sums up my 2007!
Seems this is a theme I struggle with...such an encouraging book!
A good book about the necessity of being still and resting in God.
