The Autobiography of George Muller

George Muller was a man of faith who rose from obscurity to a great example of great faith. His father was a wealthy man who wanted George to have the best life he could have according to the world's standards. His father gave him material possessions, a worldly education, and more financial grace than he deserved. George Muller during his teen life into his 20's life a life very similar to the prodigal son. One difference between Muller and the prodigal son was, George Muller was at the time in Bible schools, and learning how to become a pastor. George Muller says it the best when he talks about his salvation and he says, "Despite my sinful lifestyle and cold heart, God had mercy on me." George Muller later went on a walk with a friend of his, Beta. Beta had told him of how he had been visiting a Christians home every Saturday for a prayer meeting. When George Muller heard this he said he had found the treasure he had been searching for during his sinful life. This is where George had become fully acquainted with the Gospel.

After being truly converted George Muller became a radical Christian. He had quickly created the habit of being in prayer for long periods of time and his prayers were sincere. This is what became the largest part of George Muller's ministry. George Muller then became a missionary in England. Here he preached and evangelized for a few years. George Muller felt though his missionary in Teignmouth was done, Teignmouth was the area he was working as a missionary, and he had been asked to help a friend, Brother Craik, in another town called Bristol. George Muller moved then to Bristol which is where he ministry was directly located for the rest of his life. After working with Brother Craik for some time, George grew in his faith of God to the point where he ever rejected a salary, but wholly relied on God to supply his needs. After living like this for some time, George Muller decided to show Christians that God supplies, so he decided to start an orphanage. After prayerfully considering it, he decided that if it was God's will he would get the buildings. Which he got a building for the orphanage on a small street. George Muller had one thing about this orphanage though that set it apart from most Christian ministries. He never asked for financial help, he never gave there needs out, and he only relied on God. George Muller tells of how he uses this orphanage to glorify God and to show Christians that God does supply. I recommend Christians to read this book to hear of the amazing testimony George Muller has and to hear the wisdom he shares on prayer and trusting in the Lord.
