The part that spoke to me the most in this book, is not the part with the orphanage, but his life before this. The part of his life that most people don't know about. He started as a typical worldly man, living with no care for God or his Law. He was well educated and hoped to become a clergyman with a comfortable life. To get this living he would have to change his life drastically. Living a lie, he pretends to be a "Good Christian," but really he was just as bad as every other non-Christian. But God had a plan for him. In his 20's a friend of his invited him to a Bible study, and from this George Muller was saved, and his life transformed! He then became interested in missionary work, but his plans were changed and he started to preach, his way of preaching was not like normal preachers in that day, and people respected him very much. I really liked this part of his life, because you can see the change in his life. From a rebellious non-Christian, to a man completely for God.
I recommend this book for a family reading time, it makes good discussion. And it will open your eyes to how little our faith really is, and how much we have stopped praying. Please read this book!
