Overview

A delinquent in Prussia, working for the Jews in London and stirring up the Christians in the West Country of England, George Muller went on with God to establish five children’s homes in Bristol, caring for hundreds of children in the nineteenth century. "My God shall supply all your needs" was the text by which he lived his life. No appeals were ever made to human resources. Muller's appeals were made to God alone and, for over sixty years, he relied solely on God for all his needs. His story is retold in this new biography to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of this great man.

Top Highlights

“Müller often recalled a quote from Hudson Taylor, ‘Satan may build a barrier about us, but he can never roof us in, so that we cannot look up.’” (Page 85)

“As he preached, he felt he had the attention of the people. His words were alive and with power. In the future, he resolved always to preach from the heart and not from the cold words written by another hand and memorised.” (Pages 17–18)

“Müller was beginning to learn that God’s timing was always perfect.” (Page 17)

“It was his contention that ‘an unvisited church was a feeble church’.” (Page 42)

“Not a penny in hand’ was a phrase that Müller often used in his diary. Many a morning came without the means to pay the bills for the day. By the end of the evening, with much time spent in prayer, the necessary money had been received. Never once did a bill go unpaid. God knew just when to supply the money.” (Page 56)
