More About the Author

Like Robert Louis Stevenson, Rebecca whiled away many of her childhood days sick in bed (being absent in fifth grade more than she was present). Much of that time was spent reading--mostly adventure stories and mysteries--and writing, mostly adventure stories and mysteries that she never finished. But ultimately, biographies of great Christians influenced her the most, and Rebecca wants to encourage the next generation (and their parents) with as many of these inspiring stories as possible. Her first book, "With Daring Faith: A Biography of Amy Carmichael" won the C.S. Lewis Gold Medal for Outstanding Christian Juvenile Literature. Her new series, Hidden Heroes (including the books "With Two Hands: Stories of God at Work in Ethiopia" and "The Good News Must Go Out: Stories of God at Work in the Central African Republic) is named for the great Christians whose names are not household words. These books provides stories that she, as a member of the South Carolina Storytelling Network, loves to tell to children in churches in schools.

While she writes, Rebecca is also currently homeschooling the last of her four children. She blogs at www.heresthejoy.com.

This biography is designed for 7 to 9 year olds, but younger children would enjoy hearing it read aloud. Each chapter can be read aloud or by a newer reader in less than fifteen minutes.

The book begins with the well-known incident of George Mueller's father catching him with stolen tax money in his shoes, and goes on to tell of his years of thieving and living life for himself. We read of how he met the Lord at a Bible study while at school. What is really ironic is that he was studying for the Lutheran ministry, and others in his classes were just as unregenerate as he was. Next the book tells of his marriage, and his conviction that God would provide their needs, even though they committed to receiving no salary, and to tell their needs only to God. Further chapters show George's burden for the orphans, and the development of the orphan homes. It is exciting to read of how George believed God would answer his prayers, and then to see Him do it, time after time. As the book progresses, we read of different children who came into the orphanages, their experiences there and how they changed their lives, how they knew George Mueller, and what happened when they left the homes. When his first wife died, George wrote in his journal that he missed her, but he was content in the Lord's will. His second, younger wife went around the world with him as he spoke in different countries.

Rebecca Davis has written a great book as a biography. Younger children will enjoy reading it on their own, and it would also make for great discussions if read aloud in a family setting. I whole-heartedly recommend it!
