George Muller: The Guardian of Bristol's Orphans (Christian Heroes: Then and Now)

I don’t think I’ve read a book that moved me as much as this one. To see how George Muller lived his life selflessly for the work of God is inspiring to say the least. The lives he touched through the orphanage ministry is a testament to the power of prayer and the effectiveness of faith.

George Muller was an ordinary man with an extraordinary faith who used all God’s blessings to help those in need. What God did as a result of his prayers was miraculous.

This book is written very well (just like the others in this outstanding series). It’s simple enough language to keep the attention of my children but not so simple that it would be classified as a children’s book and very enjoyable to read.The story itself will make you think. If George could pray and trust God to meet his needs, why can’t I do the same? By the time I finished it, I was looking at my own life and figuring out what areas I need give over to God and just trust that He will provide while I do.

I read this account aloud to our four boys (ages 10, 8, 7 & 5) and they all loved it. There were at least ten times where God’s faithfulness & provision was so overwhelming beautiful that I would choke up and they’d all go, “Mom’s crying again!” Ha! Lord Jesus, You are magnificent. What a wonderful, intentional Savior! We enjoyed every second of this story.

We bought this to gift to a young teenager but it arrived too late and I ended up reading it on my own. The story is truly inspiring and very well-written. An excellent read for 10-12 year olds (+ or -). We are wanting our children to read "better" books and this one I would highly recommend.

It is so good book

George Müller's biographical story blew my mind with the miracles he expected and received from God to help others! Thousands of Bristol orphans came to bless his name. This true story teaches the power of faith in serving ones fellowman, and in letting God guide ones life.

This book has been one of my favorites for years, and I just purchased and read again. If you are someone who has a heart for adoption...this book is totally for you! It's a biography, but it is so entertaining and written in an excellent style that keeps you engaged with George's story. Great for kids-I first read it when I was 9 years old, but now it is almost 20 years later, and I still love it!
