As my seminary professor pointed out all three of these men were blessed by God. Moody who would ask specific people for specific things.

Should you “fundraise” how he did (only on your knees) or should you be more like Hudson Taylor who made his requests known but not to specific people? Even more bold still was D.L. It also causes me to think and ask questions. The life of George Müller does indeed strengthen my faith. But what I like most about Steer’s writing is that he adds story and flesh to the journals of Müller. The book is put together well and draws richly from Müller’s own journals.

He was not blindly defensive of Müller nor was he needlessly skeptical. I appreciated Roger Steer’s writing style as well. I have always been deeply challenged by the life of George Müller, this book was no exception. This book is the story of what happens when somebody sets out to show “visible proof that our God and Father is the same faithful creator as he ever was.” Through Müller thousands of orphans were provided for, Bibles and tracts were distributed, and the faith of England was strengthened. He refused to ask individuals for money or materials. He did not accept a salary from preaching.

Müller built orphanages on nothing more than faith. As described on the back of this work Müller’s name is a “by-word for faith throughout the world”. If you have not heard of George Müller then you need to.
