Publisher's Synopsis
126 years after Andrew Murray first published Waiting on God in 1896, fellow South African, Colin Millar, brings a fresh charge to this relational and foundational practice of the Christian faith. These 31 meditations have been carefully and prayerfully updated in modern English, making them accessible to a new generation of believers.
Colin has taken one of Andrew Murray's quotes literally: "A minister has no more solemn duty than to teach people to wait on God." He has himself taught, challenged, and invited thousands into the practice of Waiting on God. And as they have responded to the call of God to wait on Him, several things have become very apparent:
- Many are encountering the simple yet overwhelming joy and peace of our Father to a much greater extent than ever before and now walking in a personal love relationship with God.
- Others are hearing and acting on an ever-clearer whisper of His voice in their hearts. He is even giving answers to prayers that they have never even prayed.
Would you, too, take up this charge to wait on God - alone or with your family, church, ministry, or business?
This slender but profound book of 31 devotionals for the Christian seeking closer communion with God is more than a century old. Now beautifully updated in modern English, it continues to inspire and stir the faithful today. Spending time with these meditations on the Almighty can deepen your relationship with God and even change your life in just one month! A South African of Scottish ancestry, Dutch Reformed Church minister ANDREW MURRAY (1828-1917) was a prolific writer, publishing more than 200 powerful books, including Waiting on God, The School of Obedience, Absolute Surrender, and The Deeper Christian Life.
Review Quotes"God, the Creator of the universe, invites us to know Him intimately and to be 'on mission' with Him. He wants to express His awesome love and His incredible power not only to us but through us. Waiting on God is the place where it all begins!"
--Tom Victor, Founder of Great Commission Coalition
"As an extrovert and A-type personality, I am easily caught up in the hype of activities. This short but dynamic book has been a timely 'wake-up call' and reminder that chasing after the wind is meaningless and that a discipline of setting aside an hour a day for quiet time is key to 'hearing' from GOD daily through scripture, prayer and being still."
--Graham Power, Chairman: Power Group, Founder of the Global Day of Prayer
"Some of us have been taught in Sunday school that God's response to our prayers is yes, no, or wait. If these three words are important to God, then they must be important to us too and we must learn about them. Andrew Murray's Waiting on God is one of the finest inspirational books on the subject of waiting. I encourage you not only to read what he has written but also to reflect, practice and then pass it on to others."
--Bekele Shanko, Global Vice President Cru / Chairman, GACX - Global Alliance for Church Multiplication
"Brother Colin, as I was sitting in my office on the phone with you, I felt strongly that I should read Waiting on God. Having received it months before, I could not remember where I had put it. I was prompted to pick up a DVD case, and there it was. It was 6 months to the day that I received it, but I feel this is my appointed time."
--Jeff Gowler, President of Global Media Outreach
