The Autobiography of George Muller was a very inspiring book, as well as a very convicting book. George Muller was a Godly man, with a very strong faith in God. He was best known for his many answered prayers, for the needs of the orphanages he owned. George Muller was a great example of what having true faith in God is, and what a real prayer life is.
But George Muller wasn't always such a godly man. In his teenage years George lived a life of sin. He stole money which was entrusted to his father and his father would have to make up the costs, and he had a major drinking problem. But George always felt terrible about the way he was living, and he was searching for a way to change, but everything he tried didn't work. But then one day one of his friends told him about this one family, who was having Bible studies at their house. So George went to the Bible study and after that his life began to change.
Then years later, Muller felt that God was calling him to start an orphanage. When he made the orphanage he made a commitment to never tell people of his needs and to never to go into debt. And he remained faithful to that commitment. And after every trial George's faith would get stronger and stronger. God answered just about every one of Muller's prayers, no matter how large of a need it was. George was able to support three one thousand orphans and also support many other missionaries, by fully relying on God.
The Autobiography of George Muller really convicted me to have a better prayer life. I would really encouraged anyone who is seeking to have greater faith, to read this book. This is a very inspiring book and it will really help to strengthen your faith.
