He urges his readers to yield themselves completely to God. This work, simple and powerful, is the result of Murray’s passionate exploration of the issue of total surrender to Christ: why it’s seemingly impossible and yet completely necessary. Through this work—first published over a century ago—many Christians have discovered that victory over the power of sin and unbroken fellowship with Jesus are only a step away.

The opening tells a story about Ahab’s surrender, but I think the Kingdom perspective is more like that of Rahab who made a change of allegiance. The word surrender doesn’t capture the active striving characteristic of a true follower. Absolute is also too strong a word. In certain Eastern religions or philosophies, there is the idea of spontaneous enlightenment. It teaches that a person cannot think, believe, say, or do anything to become enlightened; otherwise, he locks himself further into the illusion of the self or the world. Similarly, the Evangelical tries to believe with his will that his will plays absolutely no role in his salvation. Freewill is an illusion to him, but in the very act of trying to believe he cannot will anything himself, there is the consciousness of his willing to will. In Christianity, the old self does not end & a new one appear in its place; rather, the self is constant. What changes is the stuff associated with the self: old things (sinful works) vs. new
This book is more needed today then in the day it was written. How many in the churches today are not taught this important lesson? They would rather live in the falacy that they can believe in Jesus without believing Jesus. That they can love Jesus without obedience. That yielding our members as instruments of righteousness can be done conditionally instead of with Absolute Surrender. Lord have mercy on us and give us grace to live as you have called us to live.
