About the Author

George Müller (1805—1898) was born in Kroppenstaedt, Prussia. He was the son of a tax collector, and, before he became a Christian, he had the reputation of a liar and a thief. After accepting Christ as his personal Savior, he was used in remarkable ways to provide for over 10,000 orphans during his lifetime. He never went into debt or asked anyone to supply his needs. He trusted in God to provide for him and for the orphans, and God never failed to do so.

In 1834, he established the Scriptural Knowledge Institution for Home and Abroad. Its objectives were to assist day schools and adult schools, where instruction was given based on scriptural principles; enable poor children to attend these day schools; circulate the Holy Scriptures; and aid in supplying the needs of missionaries and missionary schools. The fifth objective, which was added later, was to provide for the needs of orphaned children.
By the 1870s, God enabled George Müller to build five large orphanages on Ashley Down in Bristol, England, and to send £10,000 annually to nearly two hundred missionaries.

In 1875, he began preaching tours that took him over 200,000 miles to 42 countries to preach to 3 million people. God transformed a little boy who stole from his earthly father into a man who could be trusted with the resources of his heavenly Father.

The ministry of George Müller continues today through the establishment of the George Müller Foundation. Three charities operate under the direction of the Foundation: The Müller Homes for Children, the Müller Homes for the Elderly, and the Scriptural Knowledge Institution.

This review is from: Release The Power Of Prayer (Paperback)

I set out to read this book after I had read his Autobiography. If you too found yourself in this situation you already know what I found out... They are essentially the same testimony. This book contains large excerpts from the autobiography, but exculding a timeline of Mr. Mullers Life in the front, nothing substantially new. However, it is to date one of the most outstanding testimonies of a life of faith in our times that I have read. I also HIGHLY recommend Rees Howells: Intercessor by Norman Grubb. If you are seeking to deepen your faith or desire to live a more dedicated life for the Lord you'll not regret purchasing this book!

If you are in search of the testimony of a man who has lived a life solely in prayer, dependant solely on God alone, this is the book for you! The story of George Müller is definitely an inspirational story of a man who placed his hope and faith in God alone, for the care of thousands of orphans, and helped out many many missionaries monetarily and spiritually... he did all this while never asking another person for anything... just rooting his heart in prayer! Amazing!! Read this book!!

Excellent book! This is the best book on prayer I have ever read. It clearly demonstrates God's faithfullness to a man who depended only on Him and not man for provision and direction in everything. I was greatly inspired to live my life of faith the same way as George Muller.
