God has no pleasure in afflicting us, but He will not keep back even the most painful chastisement if He can but thereby guide His beloved child to come home and abide in the beloved Son.

Andrew Murray

Andrew Murray (1828–1917) war ein südafrikanischer reformierter Pastor, Erweckungsprediger und Autor, der das kirchliche Leben seines Landes und die weltweite Erweckungsbewegung prägte. Er stand für eine von der Heiligungsbewegung beeinflusste Theologie der völligen Hingabe und des Gebets, stieß jedoch mit seinen Ansichten zur Glaubensheilung und Stufenheiligung auf Kritik traditioneller reformierter Theologen. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem durch seine zahlreichen Andachtsbücher als Impulsgeber für ein praktisches Glaubens- und Gebetsleben.
