GEORGE MULLER: March 2008

New Edition

Yesterday I picked up a copy of the latest edition of George Muller of Bristol, a classic biography of the Father of Orphans, penned by Arthur T. Pierson. This clothbound volume includes a generous Appendix at the conclusion of the book and I highly recommend it. It is published by Hendrickson and can be ordered through your local Christian bookstore.

Even though I have two earlier editions of this comprehensive account of Muller's life, this latest edition is a welcome addition to my collection. The price is right, too, for a hardcover book - only $17.95 U.S. or $19.95 Cdn.

ENJOY!

A Good Start

George Muller read through the Bible over 100 times in his lifetime. No wonder his relationship with his God was so intimate!

He once stated, "I look upon it as a lost day when I have not had a good time over the Word of God. I have always made it a rule never to begin work until I have had a good season with God and His Word. The blessing I have received has been wonderful."

Therein lies much of the "secret" of Muller's success. He was in touch with the Provider!
