George Müller: The Children’s Champion
In the Trailblazers Series!
If you were an orphan in the city of Bristol in the 1800s, then your life was hard! But if you got a place in Ashley Down, one of George Müller’s children’s homes, the future was bright for you! It was like living a big, happy family. George Müller was such a kind man and he prayed constantly for the children.
But George Müller’s own home life didn’t have a promising start. He was selfish and totally untrustworthy. Would you trust someone who not only stole money from his friends, but even from own parents? He did! By the age of sixteen, he had learned to lie, steal, drink and gamble and his future looked bleak – but God had other plans for George!
After conversion, George Müller’s life became a vivid demonstration of faith in action. Praying in every penny of the costs and refusing at any time to ask for financial help from anyone but God, Müller supervised the building of three large orphanages housing thousands of children. He was more successful than anyone could have imagined.
Müller’s hard work for the cause of Christ and on behalf of orphans, his commitment to their care and his example of faith in action inspired his generation and will do the same today.
A gripping and astonishing story that will challenge young readers to really trust God as Müller did.

Autobiography of George Muller, or, A Million and a Half in Answer to Prayer
$39.99We recently obtained all remaining copies of this volume!
“George Muller has for years been a pacesetter for me in prayer. His autobiography is a veritable orchard of faith-building fruit. I have found Muller’s way absolutely crucial in my own life: to be with the Lord before I am with anyone else and let Him speak to me first.”
— John PiperThis volume is the only complete edition of Mueller’s autobiography in print today, covering some of the most remarkable episodes in the history of the Christian church, as a man with a burden for spreading the gospel through orphanage work received one and a half million pounds (British) of support without ever issuing an appeal, and whose work took care of over 10,000 children.
