At one time most Christians knew the name of George Muller and one fact at least about him: he lived ‘by faith’ and saw God provide for his orphanages and himself in an extraordinary way. He is less well-known nowadays, so Carol Purves has done well to write this enthralling account of Muller’s life.
He was born into an aristocratic family in Prussia in 1805, but from an early age was a thief and liar, going even further into a life of vice as he grew up, and he ended up in prison. Carol Purves’s account of his conversion brings home to our minds again, the amazing ways God has when drawing a soul to himself, and then later leading Muller to England and his work with orphans.
