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.

Reviews

[Ron Whisler]

George Muller really bucked the system. He told very few people of his needs, but he took everything to God. His support for multiple ministries that he lead, especially the orphanages and Scripture Knowledge Institute, he relied solely on God for the finances. It was nice though, that he was in a denomination that allowed him to preach at multiple churches, so people would know of his ministries. Anyway, God did answer in big ways - a true man of faith.

Excellent autobiography, though I caution impressionable folks from reading and wanting to emulate biographies when God seems to interact with individuals individually. Nonetheless, wonderful reminders of God's grace, mercy, and steadfast love.
