About the author

George Müller (born Johann Georg Ferdinand Müller) was a Christian evangelist and Director of the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol, England, cared for 10,024 orphans in his life. He was well known for providing an education to the children under his care, to the point where he was accused of raising the poor above their natural station in life. He also established 117 schools which offered Christian education to over 120,000 children, many of them being orphans. On 26 March 1875, at the age of 70 and after the death of his first wife in 1870 and his marriage to Susannah Grace Sanger in 1871, Müller and Susannah began a 17-year period of missionary travel. He travelled over 200,000 miles, an incredible achievement for pre-aviation times. His language abilities allowed him to preach in English, French, and German, and his sermons were translated into the host languages when he was unable to use English, French or German. God used him mightily all over the world and always provided for him everywhere that he went. In 1892, he returned to England, where he went to be with the Lord at the age of 92.

Reviews

[Jonah Maury · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ce livre est un merveilleux récit de la vie de George Müller. Dès sa conversion, il mit toute sa confiance et foi en l'Eternel qui répondit à ses prières même dans les circonstances les plus dures. Nous découvrons comment le Seigneur a travaillé à travers Mr. Müller à Bristol et à travers le monde. Ce livre raconte l'histoire de sa vie, grâce à des extraits de ses autobiographies. Sa vie nous encourage de mettre toute notre foi en Dieu, et qu'Il sera là pour nous soutenir dans toutes les situations.

Ce livre est devenu l'un de mes préférés.
À partir des carnets de Georges Müller, on voit dans cette biographie, à quel point Dieu était souverain dans son ministère pastoral et dans l'oeuvre autour des orphelinats. Le Seigneur a répondu à ses prières. Georges Müller avait le don de la foi, comme il disait... Son témoignage m'a beaucoup édifié et encouragé dans ma foi chrétienne.
Je relirai ce livre !
