George Muller

It has been well over a century since the death of George Muller (1805-1898) and sadly, fewer and fewer of each ensuing generation have been acquainted with the remarkable story of the man who believed unreservedly in the power of prayer. In his lifetime, Muller was known worldwide for his work with orphans in Bristol, and all who were familiar with the homes on Ashley Down knew that George Muller asked no one but God to provide for the needs of thousands of children in his care, and that God never failed to provide. Joan Ripley Smith traces the thrilling story from Muller's godless early years, through his conversion and move to England, and the eventual foundation and growth of the orphanages. Muller's story is one that gives glory to God and encouragement to believers, and as such deserves to be retold and appreciated in our day.
