Synopsis

Imagine a man walking into a poor rural village containing thousands of people and then promising to take care of their every need; food, clothing, housing, education. And then imagine that he proposed to do this without telling anyone other than God that these needs even existed. This man was George Müller, and that village was the more than ten thousand orphans for whom he cared, over sixty years of his life.

In his youth, George Müller was such a slave to money that he would lie, cheat, and steal to get it. But then God set him free. He said, "There was a day when I died, utterly died...died to George Müller, his opinions, preferences, tastes and will-died to the world, its approval or censure-died to the approval or blame even of my brethren and friends..." God transformed this wayward youth into a humble man of faith who set about-as one of his primary life goals-to prove to the world that God is alive, that He loves us, and that He is trustworthy and faithful. In spite of his indifference to money, or perhaps because of it, God allowed more than £1,300,000 to pass through his hands towards the needs and support of orphans, missionaries, schools, evangelism, and more, all meticulously recorded to the glory of God the Provider.

First published in 1899, the year after Müller's death, George Müller of Bristol was the first authorized biography, written by his friend Arthur T. Pierson, who was author of numerous books on missions, theology, apologetics, and biography, and who was also a preacher, including two years over Charles Spurgeon's church in London. Pierson skillfully draws deep spiritual lessons from Müller's life, making this biography one of the most important Christian books of all time.
