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

[Rod Innis · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a book that chronicles many years of service by George Müller in Bristol, England, and how God supplied the financial needs of the ministry which included hundreds of orphans that were housed and fed for many years. There are portions of the book that list in detail many of the financial gifts given to support the ministry and how so many, even those with very little themselves, gave generously to this ministry. They never asked for funds, but God moved many, many to give. I would have preferred that the list of both small and large gifts, had been summarized, but as I was able to skim these lists they did not really lessen my enjoyment of the record.

God's faithfulness

This is George Müller's first hand account of the year 1839-1840 in running the orphanage where he relied only on God in prayer for full provision w/o sharing the needs w/ any human.

He records the almost daily instances of God providing for them in many varied, miraculous ways, to show that He can still be trusted. Really challenging read to any Christian's faith& trust in the Father's hand.

Still in the form of diary, here the author narrated himself on his leadership in congregation and also in the orphan houses. Many times the author have trial of faith, the provisions he have for the orphan houses could last only for several days again, but here the providential from the Lord comes true.
On every year, The author give us the summary of his life.

[Jodi Woody · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is basically a journal that has some more information added to it. It has some of the same entries as "My Journal". It reads a lot like a bank statement or a shopping list. He prays for money and then God provides. It is a great testimony on how God does provide and how He used Mr. Muller in helping so many orphans in the 1800's in Bristol, England. You can't really skip around or you will miss the good tidbits. So with patience this book needs to be read. I don't agree with some of his beliefs, that God sends sickness to teach us, or that you cannot ask for help. He does admit that they lived very poorly, and there is little talk about his wife or child/children. I give it three stars. I liked it. This is part two and part one should have been read first I think for some backstory. I will not be reading the other three as I think one book is enough for me.
