Returned to this book after interesting citations in John Piper's The Pleasures of God. To my dismay, I found, as did another reviewer, that this paperback ends quite before the original work does, and cuts out some heartfelt commentary about the illness of Muller's daughter. Ouch!However, I am using it in daily devotionals with my two sons (10 & 12) to great effect. So, while the book is shorter than I'd like for personal reading, it seems just the right length for younger readers and thoughtful discussion as in family worship settings.
This is one of my favorite books. For about a year I carried it with me and read several passages devotionally. It is not in the original 1830 English of Mueller, but has been edited to be more readable. The book describes how Mueller accomplished his goal of being an example of answered prayer. I liked it so much I bought several copies and gave them to friends.
Although some may criticize this edition as being incomplete, it nevertheless covers most of the important elements of Muller's life. I've re-read this book many times. The story is stunning. What an inspiration!
This man had a heart after doing the will of God and trusted in Him for every single thing in his life. This is a must read for every Christian to build up your faith. I know it has helped me a great deal.
This book only covers "selected portions" of George Muller's Autobiography and then only up to 1860. THE Autobiography ends just shortly before his death in 1898. My biggest complaint is the appearance that this is the complete work when it is only a very selected summary of part of his life.
I usually just read a book through once quite quickly and then put it back on the shelf with all the others. I read the George Mueller books slowly and stop frequently to savor and absorb the miracles that God has performed. I love the consistent trust that Mr. Mueller exhibits in the certainty that God is going to come through, even when He delays to the nth last minute. And sure enough as the days, weeks, months, years and decades pass his trust is never misplaced. Our Wonderful Provider never fails or embarrasses him. Whether it is hundreds or thousands of orphans that need to be fed that day, the provision is always complete. My own faith for financial help from my Heavenly Father has been transformed and my ability to receive and give has undergone a huge transformation. I have 3 Mueller books and they have been read two and three times slowly, methodically and lovingly. There seems to be an "impartation" one receives and that is exactly Mr. Mueller's hope and purpose in keeping these journals and publishing them.
must read! not just for the bits about the orphanages, etc but that of his devotional life, prayer habits, and expositional teaching style!!! love bridget
I was so encourage by George Muller's life. Some real person like you and me lived a life so faithful and God also faithfully treated him. When our motivation is right with God, we can wait with assurance for his blessing.Wish more Christian be encouraged by this book.Wonderful book! The Binding is not so good though. Pages started to fall off after one read.
