The Ministry of Intercession- Volume 1
(This book was originally a sequel to With Christ in the School of Prayer.)
This is a presentation of foundational truths that lead to effective prayer. There are many conditions that can provide us a more effective ministry of intercession, and Andrew Murray does an excellent job of studying these conditions.
As Andrew Murray himself says, this book is a result of his wondering “what could be done to rouse believers to a sense of their high calling” and how “to help and train them to take part in it… There are tens of thousands of workers who have known and are proving wonderfully what prayer can do. But there are tens of thousands who work with but little prayer, and as many more who do not work because they do not know how or where, who might all be won to swell the hosts of intercessors who are to bring down the blessings of heaven to earth. For their sakes, and the sake of all who feel the need of help, I have prepared helps and hints for a school of intercession…I have asked those who would join, to begin by giving at least ten minutes a day definitely to this work.”

With Christ in the School of Prayer- Volume 2
(sequel to The Ministry of Intercession)
This book is an enlightening lesson on prayer that will challenge you to look to Christ in order to obtain His power.
“Of all the traits of a life LIKE CHRIST there is none higher and more glorious than conformity to Him in the work that now engages Him without ceasing in the Father’s presence—His all-prevailing intercession. The more we abide in Him, and grow unto His likeness, will His priestly life work in us mightily, and our life become what His is, a life that ever pleads and prevails for men…May God open our eyes to see what the holy ministry of intercession is to which, as His royal priesthood, we have been set apart.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Andrew Murray (1828 - 1917) was a missionary, statesman, educator, revivalist, evangelist, and pastor during the nineteenth century. He is one of the best loved and most widely read writers on the deeper Christian life.
It was a choice of logic to become a minister, but during the course of his studies, he met the God of the Bible and came to know Him more intimately than most. The theme of his life was, “May not a single moment of my life be spent outside the light, love, and joy of God's presence, and not a moment without the entire surrender of myself as a vessel for him to fill full of his Spirit and his love.”
His personal knowledge and insight of God’s inward grace was evident in all his writings. With his extraordinary skill at putting his spiritual insight into the written word, it is no surprise that he was used mightily by God in his lifetime, with the effects of his literature still having far-reaching results in the hearts and lives of Christians today.
