George Mueller of Bristol

A.T. Pierson

George Muller (1805-1898) was one of the outstanding servants of the Lord in the 19th century. The great work of his life was to testify the reality of a prayer-hearing God to a society that was becoming increasingly skeptical toward God. To this end he founded an orphanage in England with absolutely no efforts at fundraising, but instead relying solely on God to provide for all the needs, which He did faithfully throughout Muller’s life.

This is the classic biography of George Muller, written with a view to helping its readers learn the spiritual lessons that can be drawn from such a life. Reading it provides a great deal of insight into the life of faith, drawn from the experiences of a man of faith.
