Muriel's Children is the story of Muriel Ainger and her 60 years of work with the Nurseries Fellowship in Gorakhpur, India. It is not just Muriel's story though, as the book tells of the work of several others and the amazing ways in which God drew them to Gorakhpur.
In our fast-moving world, with job and geographical mobility the order of the day, it is hard to imagine anyone doing anything for 60 years. Muriel was over 80 when she retired from leading the work at the nurseries. That alone is an inspiration. In many ways she belonged to another place and time, but her energy and maturity are a challenge today.
