About the author

George Müller (born Johann Georg Ferdinand Müller) was a Christian evangelist and Director of the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol, England, cared for 10,024 orphans in his life. He was well known for providing an education to the children under his care, to the point where he was accused of raising the poor above their natural station in life. He also established 117 schools which offered Christian education to over 120,000 children, many of them being orphans. On 26 March 1875, at the age of 70 and after the death of his first wife in 1870 and his marriage to Susannah Grace Sanger in 1871, Müller and Susannah began a 17-year period of missionary travel. He travelled over 200,000 miles, an incredible achievement for pre-aviation times. His language abilities allowed him to preach in English, French, and German, and his sermons were translated into the host languages when he was unable to use English, French or German. God used him mightily all over the world and always provided for him everywhere that he went. In 1892, he returned to England, where he went to be with the Lord at the age of 92.

Great read!
What an amazing book by George Muller! His book inspired me to live for the Lord, to pray more, and trust the Lord for some bigger needs in my life.

Good book. Not chronologically in order of his life events but encouraging nonetheless. Easy read

I always recommend that you read at least one George Mueller book at least once a year, to remind yourself of the power of prayer and how God loves to provide for our needs, mostly when we humble ourselves and ask him and place our trust solely in him. This has caused another prayer revival in our home and we are already so aware of so many ways He is working and providing for us in ways we couldn’t have imagined.

Similar to the Hudson Taylor style of book, but I really enjoyed the emphasis that was placed on the ability for the Lord to provide with true faith in him to come through. I would recommedn this for those that want to dive into the story of this man of faith!
