About this book

Andrew Murray wrote this book of daily readings in 1888 for those who had recently come to Christ. In short, simple chapters drawn from Scripture, he instructs young disciples in the first steps of the Christian life — faith, prayer, obedience, and fellowship with God. It has long served as a gentle handbook for new believers and those who disciple them.
