Spiritual Help for Daily Living
by Andrew Murray"Some time ago I (Andrew Murray) was asked to write a series of articles under the heading, "Aids to Devotion," for the Lovedale Christian Express. My mind was at the time much occupied with the Epistle to the Ephesians, and I thought it might be possible to connect its teaching with the effort to give some help for the quiet hour. This led to my writing two of the introductory chapters, and the twelve that deal with the chief thoughts of the Epistle. I am deeply conscious of how defective they are and how little able I have been to satisfy myself in giving expression to what I think I have seen of the treasures that God has stored away in this Epistle for His Church. I have nevertheless ventured on their publication in this little book, in the hope that God may use them to help some of His children to realize what the standard of the true Christian life is as it is set before us in the Epistle, and what absolute divine assurance it gives us that God is able and willing to make all that it contains true in our experience. I send this little book out with the prayer with which Paul wrote his Epistle, "that God, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Himself." Without that Spirit, specially sought and received, and yielded to in great teachableness, the truths of the Epistle will remain a hidden mystery. With that teaching, we shall "be filled with the knowledge of God's Will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding," we shall learn to know what passes knowledge, and be brought to experience that His power is able actually to do in us exceeding abundantly above what we can ask or think." The notes are instructive and have tips for those in ministry.

Bottled Up
by Jaye MurrayPrincipal Giraldi has given Pip an ultimatum: Either he stops skipping classes and begins seeing a counselor after school, or he's expelled. But what really scares Pip is the thought that Giraldi might call his father. His father is what really scares Pip.
