About this book

Andrew Murray's meditations on John 15, first published in 1882, written to help believers live in unbroken fellowship with Christ. Taking the image of the vine and the branches, Murray unfolds what it means to abide: in surrender, in obedience, in love, and in fruitfulness. Gentle and searching, it has been a beloved guide to the interior life for generations.
