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.

I recommend! It is one of the best Christian biographies. It's among my favorites. Maybe at first it won't catch you, but halfway through you'll like it a lot. So, read it!

This book shows the faith of a man who truly embodies reliance on God for his needs. It was cool to see his steadfastness and God’s faithfulness. I rated it three stars because I had a hard time completing the book due to its old language, and repetition. Once you’ve read the first four chapters, you’ve read the whole book!

Good for anyone learning to pray, to present your needs to the Lord and trust him to provide. Reminds Christians that God truly is our provider.

Okay, first I think that it is amazing how God worked through George Mueller, and I read 33% of the book. It really is pretty much his diary, and there are some good things that I read so far. But mostly it would talk about his need, he prayed, God answered with yea-many pounds, shillings, or halfpence, and by 33% of the way through I just couldn't handle it anymore. But, it does challenge me in my faith to trust God and not myself.

This is one of my favorite books! I love the concept of ministries refraining from pleading for funds and yet I do understand this life of "faith" may have a special calling attached to it. George Muller gives a depth of insight few ever experience as he provided for thousands of Orphans each day for decades without asking for one penny to do so.

So far this man amazes me with his faith that some would say borders on stupidity. Yet time and time again the Lord reveals his faithfulness to this man of God. Amazing and humbling to read. Sad in some parts but a very interesting read even if you are not a christian.

[Kathy Hogeveen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Blessed beyond measure by this example of faith and God's steadfast providence.

[Chris Pridemore · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very inspiring account of genuine faith in God particularly fervent, dependent prayer. Could have been edited down a bit more in my opinion.

[Preston Rentz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book, more than any other perhaps has reinforced my faith that God will always provide, as we trust in him.
