George Muller: Delighted in God

Although this is a biography of George Muller, it has captivated my attention like a novel would. It begins with Muller in prison and continues throughout his long(he lived to be 92) and eventful life. I especially enjoyed all of the personal stories told about Muller from people who knew him best. This book has definitely strengthened my faith.

Roger Steer's biography of George Muller is my favorite of the many that have been written. He seeks to share Muller's story through Muller's own words, and thus provides a first hand perspective of the things Muller was going through as he was growing in faith. I teach a church history course at a seminary and have assigned this book to my students on multiple occasions. I have been pleased with the consistent "this has been a life-changing book" response. Every Christian should know about George Muller, and this is one of the best books written on him.

This biography deserves much more attention than it gets. Mueller was the epitome of prayerfulness, peace, and joy. His eyes were fixed on Christ, yet he also practiced great social healing in his ministry, always pointing the orphans in his care back to Christ. You will be challenged and amazed by the things God does in Mueller's life. In fact, that's the most wonderful part about the biography... it celebrates George Mueller, but through him it WORSHIPS the amazing acts of God. Mueller would certainly approve.

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!
