4 out of 5 stars Waiting on God.......2007-05-19

George Muller set the example of how to depend on God and live by faith. Many of us ask God for monetary help and then set to work out our own deliverance. Churches and individual Christians could benefit greatly by reading this book.

5 out of 5 stars Incredible Book.......2005-09-10

This book is an autobiography of a man who ran multiple orphanages and a school by solely trusting in God to provide the support. This man never asked any individual for money. This book will encourage the believer to place all of your cares and burdens on the Lord. The reader will be challenged to seek after God for who He is and not for what He gives.

5 out of 5 stars must read.......2005-09-07

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

5 out of 5 stars Faith that Overcomes the World!.......2002-10-25

This man puts to shame the cheap easy religion of the modern church. The Bible tells us to LAY HOLD of eternal life (1Tim6:11) and so he did and NEVER let go! How unlike the current version of saving faith that teaches people to set back and enjoy the ride. Any effort put forth in obedience to scripture is considered `legalism' and heralded as a works salvation. Anyone with half a brain can see what this has produced over the last hundred years. The decadence of our society is testimony enough to prove how far the church has stayed from the precepts of the Gospel. Heart purity and righteousness of life are long gone our church pulpits. Rather than seeking God in sincere prayer with a broken heart, weeping for the lost and burning with a holy zeal to serve the Lord, professing Christians are off pursuing vain amusements and `believing' themselves saved while vacant of the true holiness of Christ.
George Muller should serve as an example to all that we serve a LIVING God, not a dead theology. Scripture says that the `Spirit gives life, while the letter kills' Today they have it reversed because people are unwilling to forsake their sin and come to the Cross for destruction of the flesh. Don't attempt to emulate Mr. Muller's results without first having a FAITH that works by love, Purifies the heart and has Victory over the world. You may `appear' to have the blessings of God in your life, but unless this kind of faith is at work in your soul (cleansing & purifying you daily!) Rom2:4 applies. You have `believed' in vain. (1Cor15:2)

    5 out of 5 stars God is able and willing to do what He promises to Do.......2007-07-23

    More than 25 years ago, my older son Ken (an avid Bible student and teacher)called my attention to George Muller and later provided me with a book on Muller's prayer life, believing, and victory over problems by believing that God was his sufficiency. Also that God would provide what he needed to fulfill his service to the glory of God. I am currently writing an article on "Faith" particularly as the word crops up in Alcoholics Anonymous,and immediately remembered the Muller book. This title, plus Muller's own biography, buttresses the belief so rapidly vanishing in Alcoholics Anonymous that God truly can meet the needs of, and guide, the alcoholic in overcoming the myriad of difficulties he encounters after he gets sober. Alcoholism can be cured. The wreckage of the past provides an equally demanding need for help and strength. Reliance on God was a necessary part of the cure in early A.A. And it was a necessary part in my own cure 21 years ago. I believe that this Muller book, the Narrow Road book about Brother Andrew, the Revolution book, and the Megashift book present solid grounds for putting your faith in the Creator of the heavens and the earth, coming to Him through Jesus Christ, and knowing for a certainty that Yahweh can show the way and provide--just as Muller found in his own victorious march to serve and love.

    5 out of 5 stars A Book That Impacts The Soul.......2007-07-06

    I had heard of George Muller and how he was a man of prayer and faith but I really didn't understand the story of George Muller until I happened to read this short book by Basil Miller on his life. Truly, Muller searves as an example of a life of faith, prayer, obedience, and faithfulness unders whatever circumstances he found himself until his very last day.

    This short book (159 pages) offers the reader a short glimpse into the life of George Muller. Much like our Saviour (John 21:25), this book does not explore the true life of Muller. It does, however, give the reader a quick look at his life and it will indeed challenge your faith. Muller's prayer life alone should touch a nerve in every true disciple of Jesus and call us all to a deeper life of prayer. Muller demonstrated that he took Jesus' words serious when Jesus told us to pray and not give up (Luke 18:1) and that whatever we ask in faith we will receive for his glory and honour (John 14:12-14).

    Overall, Miller's work is to the point and a solid read. I greatly enjoyed the layout of the book which you would expect in a biography such as this. Miller covers George Muller's life from birth to death and he shows us the highs and lows of Muller all in between. I also greatly appreciated the fact that Miller reveals that Muller is just like you and I in the sense that he was a sinner in need of a graceful Saviour (Romans 3:23-24). Muller's life will have an impact on your soul.

    5 out of 5 stars An inspiring example of answered prayers.......2004-02-02

    George Muller was the pastor of a small church in England in the early 1800s. In those days, churches were financed by pew rents. Families would rent the pew where they sat each Sunday and from these funds, the pastor would be paid and other expenses of operation met. The pews in the best locations cost more. Rev. Muller became convinced that pew rents were contrary to the will of God, and after several months as pastor on a salary, announced to the congregation that he would no longer receive a salary, but that they should place a box in the chapel into which they could place offerings to support him. He further announced that he would tell only God of his needs.

    In 1833, he became pastor of Bethesda Chapel in Bristol. There were many orphans on the streets, and Reverend Muller began inviting some to his home to eat breakfast each day and then taught them from the scriptures. In 1834 he established some day schools to help them get an education and conducted Sunday School for them on Sunday. In 1836, God moved him to establish a small orphanage in the neighborhood in a rented house. He added more rented houses, and then was moved by God to acquire land at the edge of town (Bristol) and build a modern orphan's home in 1849. He continued to add buildings for many years until there was space for over 2,000 orphans. Reverend Muller depended entirely on contributions to meet all the building construction and operating money and his personal living expenses.. Yet he had a firm rule, based on his personal belief that he should never ask anyone for a contribution - in fact, never even tell anyone who asked whether the orphanages were in need of funds. He asked only God in his prayers, and always was very specific in his petitions to God. God moved him to keep meticulous records of his prayer requests and there results. In journals he dated and recorded each request on the left hand side and then dated and recorded the results opposite on the right hand side. His biographers had a lot of material to work with.
    Reverend Muller undertook nothing, even the smallest expenditure, unless he felt it was the will of God. He was asked how he sought the will of God. This is his reply:
    1. "I seek at the beginning to get my heart into such a state that it has no will of its own in regard to a given matter. Nine-tenths of the difficulties are overcome when our hearts are ready to do the Lord's will, whatever it may be. When one is truly in this state, it is usually but a little way to the knowledge of what His will is.
    2. Having done this, I do not leave the result to feeling or simple impressions. If so, I make my self liable to great delusions.
    3. I seek the will of the Spirit of God through or in connection with the Word of God. The Spirit and the Word must be combined. If I look to the Spirit alone without the Word, I lay my self open to great delusions also.
    4. Next I take into account providential circumstances. These plainly indicate God's will in connection with His Word and Spirit.
    5. I ask God in prayer to reveal His will to me aright.
    6. Thus through prayer to God, the study of the Word, and reflection, I come to a deliberate judgment according to the best of my ability and knowledge, and if my mind is thus at peace, and it continues so after two or three more petitions, I proceed accordingly."
    Mr. Muller was asked how well this worked.
    "I never remember", he wrote in 1895, three years before his death at the age of 93, "in all my Christian course, a period now of sixty-nine years and four months, that I ever SINCERELY and PATIENTLY sought to know the will of God by the teaching of the Holy Ghost through the instrumentality of the Word of God, but I have always been directed rightly. But if honesty of heart and uprightness before God were lacking, or I did not patiently wait upon the Lord for instruction, or if I preferred the counsel of my fellow men to the declarations of the Word of the living God, I made great mistakes."

    I was so moved by what I had read, that I decided my children should have copies. I found paperback editions were available and ordered several copies to give to family and friends. I re-read the book several times, taking it on airplanes when I traveled and became convinced that if this book meant so much to me, I should give copies away. I ordered 100 copies. I gave copies to the members of my Sunday School class, members of church committees and to many individuals. At least one individual I gave one to, who is a member of a different church, began buying and giving copies to people. At the time I am writing this, I have given over 200 copies of the book.

    This book is truly an evangelistic tool.

    5 out of 5 stars This book can impact your life........2001-07-30

    In 1946, on my 13th birthday, my Sunday School teacher gave me a copy of this book. In 1992, I found it in my mother's home and re-read it. It was a life changing experience. I have bought and given away more than 200 copies since then.

    One thing that makes George Muller's biography's unique is the amount of documentation that his biographer's had to work with. Each year, he published a detailed report of activities, but more meaningful were the journals he kept in which he listed all prayer requests and the outcomes of those requests.

    Muller was born in 1805 in Prussia. As a young man, he decided not to tell anyone of his needs, but to rely solely on prayer. God taught George Muller faith and trust by continually testing him, but always providing what he needed. Muller was motivated in 1836 to start an orphanage for 30 street children in Bristol, England. Over the years, as a result of his prayers, the orphanage grew to house over 2000.

    Muller lived to be 93. In his later years, he was honored internationally and invited to visit and speak in many cities. Beginning in 1875 he made 17 trips and visited 42 countries, telling his story of faith, trust, and prayer.

    This is an inspiring book. It is filled with stories of many actual experiences that help the reader grow his or her own faith.

    4 out of 5 stars A truly inspirational book confirming the 'power of prayer'.......1999-03-23

    As a living example of George Mullers legacy, having spent my childhood 1939 - 1954 in the surroudings of the Orphange situated at Ashley Down, Bristol, England. This book brought back so many memories for me. Some I try to forget, but now I am 60 years of age and reflect on the effect the teachings have had on my life, I remain eternally grateful for the upbringing, teachings and character building I received during the most informative years of my life. I thouroughly reccommend it to any person looking for answers to their 'inner self' providing there is room for Christianity in their lives

    I set out to read this book after I had read his Autobiography. If you too found yourself in this situation you already know what I found out... They are essentially the same testimony. This book contains large excerpts from the autobiography, but exculding a timeline of Mr. Mullers Life in the front, nothing substantially new. However, it is to date one of the most outstanding testimonies of a life of faith in our times that I have read. I also HIGHLY recommend Rees Howells: Intercessor by Norman Grubb. If you are seeking to deepen your faith or desire to live a more dedicated life for the Lord you'll not regret purchasing this book!

    If you are in search of the testimony of a man who has lived a life solely in prayer, dependant solely on God alone, this is the book for you! The story of George Müller is definitely an inspirational story of a man who placed his hope and faith in God alone, for the care of thousands of orphans, and helped out many many missionaries monetarily and spiritually... he did all this while never asking another person for anything... just rooting his heart in prayer! Amazing!! Read this book!!

    5 out of 5 stars Much more than I expected!.......2007-07-10

    I bought this book looking for anecdotes of some amazing ways God answered prayer in George Muller's life, especially ones that could be used as illustrations for teaching, sermons, etc... What I didn't expect was God to work in my heart so much while reading it. The book certainly contains many amazing accounts of how God provided for George Muller and his ministry, but more than anything the book is a powerful narrative of how God responds to faith and prayer. Muller's life goal was to show that God is a living God who hears and answers prayer, and God richly blessed this life of faith.

    The refreshing thing about this biography is that you learn just as much about the almighty God whom Muller served as you do about Muller himself. The author also often steps out of the narrative to help the reader to apply lessons from Muller's life. However, these asides never feel forced or interrupt the flow of the narrative, they only add to the reader's enjoyment and edification. I'm certain that the writing of this book itself was bathed in prayer, and it will show in the heart of the reader.

    As mentioned before in other reviews, the language is a bit formal, as was common style in the late 1800's, but it's still very accessible, even to High School students. I heartily recommend this book!

    5 out of 5 stars Much more than a biography!.......2007-05-22

    The ultimate George Muller biography, written by a man who knew him, and the one approved by Mr. Muller's own son-in-law. This biography breaks down George Muller's life into sections and explores each section thoroughly. Tremendous insight is gained into why and how he became a great man of faith and prayer. And as if the unfolding of this isn't enough, there's the added bonus of author A.T. Pierson's insightful commentary on biblical principles for deeper-level Christian living. I am reading this book a second time just to take in and digest all he has to say about these things, especially in relation to following the call of God on one's life. I was not expecting this from a biography and all I could think while reading it was "Where was this man when I was starting out?" It's like sitting at the feet of your own personal mentor. While some of the writing style is a bit "too late 1800's" it does not detract from what is being said. This is an extremely rich read. (The DVD "Obstacle to Comfort" serves as a great companion to this book.)

    5 out of 5 stars A Glorious Biography! Shows how Muller's faith moved mountains!.......2006-03-10

    This powerful biography gets to the real story behind the legendary sinner-turned-saint, George Muller. This bio is a reader's dream! The author has a masterful way of turning a phrase and more importantly he shows us how and what and who made Muller who he became--a man of God extraordinaire. I was deeply moved by his story. The faith that distinguished his Christianity from mediocre believers of his day was unclouded by sentimentality or mystical notions, it was steeped in Scripture and bathed in the love of Christ. A fiery life that I will refer to when I need an inspirational pick-me up. A wonderful book that truly brings glory to God!

    For the first time in over eighty years, the full autobiography of George Müller is back in print in a beautiful hardback edition. This covers Müller's entire life and ministry, especially the Bristol Orphanage, in which God met the needs of 120,000 children over a period of 63 years. The subtitle "A Million and a Half in Answer to Prayer" is better appreciated when we understand that a million and a half pounds then would be equal in today's U.S. dollars to 75 million dollars. This amount came in over a period of 63 years through prayer to provide for the orphans. The volume includes over forty original photos of Müller, his staff and associates, the orphan homes, and the orphans themselves. Müller's full account of God's faithfulness will inspire any reader with the reality that there is indeed a living God who is glorified by answering believing prayer.

    Autobiography of George Muller or a Million and a Half in Answer to Prayer is one of the greatest and most important testimonies to the faithfulness of God in the history of the Church. Outside of the Scriptures, the autobiography of George Muller has been the most influential book in my life and I recommend it without reservation. Up until now, this book has been available only in its abridged form, but is now offered in its entirety. In the following you can read what others are saying about this book and find information on how it may be obtained.
    - Paul David Washer, HeartCry Missionary Society

    George Müller has for years been a pacesetter for me in prayer. His Autobiography is a veritable orchard of faith-building fruit. I have found Müller's way absolutely crucial in my own life-be with the Lord before I am with anyone else and let Him speak to me first.
    - John Piper, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota

    I am so pleased that Westminster Literature Resources has published this new edition of George Müller's Autobiography. The story you will read in these pages is one of the most remarkable episodes in the history of the Christian church. As you read through its pages, you will see something of the growth of the man and his ideas. His conviction was that God is the living God and the secret of life is to delight yourself in Him.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the most powerful books one will ever read..........2001-08-05

    George Muller was an extra ordinary man. One who trusted completly on the Lord to provide all his needs, and without asking or telling anyone what was needed. The Lord tested Muller's faith many times, but always delivered on His perfect timing. For those who don't know about George Muller; he built a very large orphan housing totally by petition to God in prayer, without asking or soliciting to anyone else, but to God alone (the Triune God of Holy Scripture). God literaly gave Muller millions; for his heart was for the children and God's will, not for his gain. Muller was so blessed by his work for the Lord and the orphans, that he lived a very fulfilled, yet humble life. This is a must read if ever there was one. Sadly, it's out of print. This book must be put back in print ASAP. May God grant us all the strong Biblical faith that of Muller. God bless. PS Also by Rodger Steer, you must read "George Muller: Delighted in God." This book is still available.

    This well edited selection of George Muller's own writings is a faith builder second to none. Living without fund-raising, or even letting the needs of the ministry be known, the account of the depth of trust that Mr. Muller developed in God's soveriegn supply for over 10,000 orphans, and his reasons for doing so are practical, inspiring, and just what is needed in the face of the post-modernist onslaught. Stories mixed with excerpts from Mr. Muller's own diary and other writing bring real life to this easy to read book. One of the very best I have ever read.

    5 out of 5 stars Roger Steer provides an excellent study of Muller........2004-02-02

    I have read several biographies of Muller and this one offers far more detail than any of the others I have read. Like the others, it is a spiritually uplifting story of how one man builds such trust in God that truly amazing things are accomplished.

    George Muller was a German who came to England in 1829 awaiting appointment as a missionary to the Jews by the London Missionary Society. The 18 members of Ebenezer Chapel called him to be the pastor of their church. In those days, churches were financed by pew rents. Families would rent the pew where they sat each Sunday and from these funds, the pastor would be paid and other expenses of operation met. The pews in the best locations cost more. Rev. Muller became convinced that pew rents were contrary to the will of God, and after several months as pastor on a salary, announced to the congregation that he would no longer receive a salary, but that they should place a box in the chapel into which they could place offerings to support him. He further announced that he would tell only God of his needs. He did well there and the membership grew to 55.
    In 1833, he became pastor of Bethesda Chapel in Bristol. There were many orphans on the streets, and Reverend Muller began inviting some to his home to eat breakfast each day and then taught them from the scriptures. In 1834 he established some day schools to help them get an education and conducted Sunday School for them on Sunday. In 1836, God moved him to establish a small orphanage in the neighborhood in a rented house. He added more rented houses, and then was moved by God to acquire land at the edge of town (Bristol) and build a modern orphan's home in 1849. He continued to add buildings for many years until there was space for over 2,000 orphans. Reverend Muller depended entirely on contributions to meet all the building construction and operating money. Yet he had a firm rule, based on his personal belief....... that he should never ask anyone for a contribution - in fact, never even tell anyone who asked whether the orphanages were in need of funds. He asked only God in his prayers, and always was very specific in his petitions to God. God moved him to keep meticulous records of his prayer requests and there results. In journals he dated and recorded each request on the left hand side and then dated and recorded the results opposite on the right hand side. His biographers had a lot of material to work with.
    Reverend Muller undertook nothing, even the smallest expenditure, unless he felt it was the will of God. He was asked how he sought the will of God. This is his reply:
    1. "I seek at the beginning to get my heart into such a state that it has no will of its own in regard to a given matter. Nine-tenths of the difficulties are overcome when our hearts are ready to do the Lord's will, whatever it may be. When one is truly in this state, it is usually but a little way to the knowledge of what His will is.
    2. Having done this, I do not leave the result to feeling or simple impressions. If so, I make my self liable to great delusions.
    3. I seek the will of the Spirit of God through or in connection with the Word of God. The Spirit and the Word must be combined. If I look to the Spirit alone without the Word, I lay my self open to great delusions also.
    4. Next I take into account providential circumstances. These plainly indicate God's will in connection with His Word and Spirit.
    5. I ask God in prayer to reveal His will to me aright.
    6. Thus through prayer to God, the study of the Word, and reflection, I come to a deliberate judgment according to the best of my ability and knowledge, and if my mind is thus at peace, and it continues so after two or three more petitions, I proceed accordingly."
    Mr. Muller was asked how well this worked.
    "I never remember", he wrote in 1895, three years before his death at the age of 93, "in all my Christian course, a period now of sixty-nine years and four months, that I ever SINCERELY and PATIENTLY sought to know the will of God by the teaching of the Holy Ghost through the instrumentality of the Word of God, but I have always been directed rightly. But if honesty of heart and uprightness before God were lacking, or I did not patiently wait upon the Lord for instruction, or if I preferred the counsel of my fellow men to the declarations of the Word of the living God, I made great mistakes."
    This is truly an inspirational book.

    5 out of 5 stars An Amazing, Life-Changing Story.......2007-08-07

    I "happened" upon this book in our church library. It is the wonderful true story of a man who lived by faith and relied on prayer for everything in his life. He cared for many orphans and his many stories of how God miraculously provided are amazing. It is a real faith builder and a real challenge in your own walk with God. I highly recommend this book!
