George Müller, whose wrote the prayer journals in this book, was a 19th century Christian who took God's command to look after orphans very seriously. During his lifetime, Müller built and maintained orphanages in England that cared for thousands of children. A man of great faith, Müller never once asked for a penny to support the work-yet somehow the necessary funds always came in-just in time.
Readers of this book, which is essentially a collection of Muller's journal entries with some corresponding background explaining them, will be moved by the intensity of his faith. The way he counted on God to provide, even in the direst of circumstances, is truly inspiring. This book, which spans six decades of Müller's work, provides a window now only into Müller's life and work, but to the consistency of his faith over time.
About the author
George Müller was a Christian evangelist who died on March 10, 1898. He was born on September 27, 1805, and lived until March 10, 1898. He was one of the people who started the movement of the Plymouth Brethren. His group was called the Open Brethren after the split. During his life, he took care of 10,024 orphans and helped them get an education. Some people said he put the poor above their place in British society since he helped them get an education. He set up 117 schools where more than 120,000 people got a Christian education. Müller and his wife started helping orphans in 1836, when they set up their own rented home at 6 Wilson Street, Bristol, to house 30 girls. Soon after that, three more houses on Wilson Street were set up for boys, girls, and younger kids, bringing the total number of kids who could be cared for to 130.¿
