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.

This little book is bathed in the Power of God because of the Power of the Holy Spirit that activated this man's ministry and life! Jesus shines forth in all things as this man of God walked by Faith in all things of Life. This was a true Missionary and Marketplace Minister.

His Faith Walk inspired many including that of James Hudson Taylor, who himself was a man of Faith Missions in the inner continent of China in the 1800's.

This is a good little book for all that rest in the Peace and Assurance of Jesus Christ through His Grace and Mercy.

I bought this book because I wanted to give it out as a Christmas gift to my Sunday school class. They loved it so much they keep asking when we can have a class to just discuss George Muller and his incredible trust in the power of prayer.It was incredibly encouraging to read about George Muller. If you are looking for a comprehensive biograpy this is not the book for you. It does have an overview of his life but has his writings sprinked into it. I thought it has a nice balance. This is an easy to read book that will inspire your faith and prayer life. It did mine.

The amazing power of faith and prayer is shown is this book. It is simple and yet profound. His example of believing totally in God for all things is inspiring.

I sent this to my son. He is liking it but slow in reading it. I own my own copy and it is a terrific resource.

Release the Power of Prayer contains excerpts from the auto-biography of George Muller and commentary concerning the pertinent circumstances. Muller wanted to show Christians that God could be taken at his Word and would fulfill every promise to us. Muller was first called to a ministry to the orphans of Bristol, England in the 19th Century, in which time the horrors of the work house or the cruel street was the fate of children without parents. Muller never solictied one shilling from people. He took all of his needs to his heavenly Father. Through prayer alone, the Lord facilitated Muller caring for over 10,000 orphans in the 20+ years he ran them.
We cannot borrow George Muller's faith. However, we can be challenged and encouraged by it. This type of intimate relationship with God is available to every believer if they will but pursue it. Only by taking our own needs to God in prayer are we able to learn of the power found in prayer.
