George Muller: Delighted In God by Roger Steer

I read this book in the late 70’s.  It was the first of many books that I have read about George Muller.  In fact, I have read this particular book two or three times. If you have never heard of George Muller, or read about him, this book is a must!

To say that this book is inspiring is an understatement.

Mr. Muller was a man who, because of his absolute trust in God, did some remarkable exploits that still astound people to this day.

He has been referred to as a man who knew how to get answers to prayers.  He personally documented thousands of answers to his prayers.  But Mr. Muller not only prayed, he trusted and believed God.

He was searching for a way to show the world about how faithful our God is to answer prayer.  So, in the early1830’s he embarked upon an extraordinary adventure.  Disturbed by the faithlessness of the Church in general, he longed to have something to point to as ‘”visible proof that our God and Father is the same faithful creator as he ever was.”

He supervised the building of five large orphanages housing thousands of children. And all of the funding came from prayer.  All of it.  Muller simply prayed for everything required. Provision came to the orphanage work on an almost daily basis, in the form of food and supplies, as well as financial gifts.

Mr. Muller was diligent to keep a diary in which he recorded all prayer requests and the answers, including the specific amounts of monetary gifts.

Some of the stories you will read in this book are remarkable and astounding. And, even more remarkable, he never, ever went into debt.  God continued to answer his prayers and provide, year after year after year.

He never asked anyone for a single penny; no one except God.  And God answered and provided for years.  He was more successful than anyone could have believed possible and he is as much an example to our generation as to his own.

The later part of Mr. Muller’s life was spent preaching around the world.  In his 17 years of traveling, beginning in 1875, he visited over 40 countries.  Muller died peacefully in 1898 at the age of 92.  His legacy of praying and trusting God will continue to inspire people in generations to come.
