Rating: Summary: This is an amazing story. Review: Although some may criticize this edition as being incomplete, it nevertheless covers most of the important elements of Muller's life. I've re-read this book many times. The story is stunning. What an inspiration!
Rating: Summary: Incomplete, yet still useful and encouraging Review: Returned to this book after interesting citations in John Piper's The Pleasures of God. To my dismay, I found, as did another reviewer, that this paperback ends quite before the original work does, and cuts out some heartfelt commentary about the illness of Muller's daughter. Ouch! However, I am using it in daily devotionals with my two sons (10 & 12) to great effect. So, while the book is shorter than I'd like for personal reading, it seems just the right length for younger readers and thoughtful discussion as in family worship settings.

Rating: Summary: Should be titled - The noncomplete autobiography of G.Muller Review: This book only covers "selected portions" of George Muller's Autobiography and then only up to 1860. THE Autobiography ends just shortly before his death in 1898. My biggest complaint is the appearance that this is the complete work when it is only a very selected summary of part of his life.
Rating: Summary: Inspirational Book Review: This is one of my favorite books. For about a year I carried it with me and read several passages devotionally. It is not in the original 1830 English of Mueller, but has been edited to be more readable. The book describes how Mueller accomplished his goal of being an example of answered prayer. I liked it so much I bought several copies and gave them to friends.
Rating: Summary: A man that truelly took God at His word. Review: This man had a heart after doing the will of God and trusted in Him for every single thing in his life. This is a must read for every Christian to build up your faith. I know it has helped me a great deal.

Rating: Summary: Faith that Overcomes the World! Review: This man puts to shame the cheap easy religion of the modern church. The Bible tells us to LAY HOLD of eternal life (1Tim6:11) and so he did and NEVER let go! How unlike the current version of saving faith that teaches people to set back and enjoy the ride. Any effort put forth in obedience to scripture is considered 'legalism' and heralded as a works salvation. Anyone with half a brain can see what this has produced over the last hundred years. The decadence of our society is testimony enough to prove how far the church has stayed from the precepts of the Gospel. Heart purity and righteousness of life are long gone our church pulpits. Rather than seeking God in sincere prayer with a broken heart, weeping for the lost and burning with a holy zeal to serve the Lord, professing Christians are off pursuing vain amusements and 'believing' themselves saved while vacant of the true holiness of Christ. George Muller should serve as an example to all that we serve a LIVING God, not a dead theology. Scripture says that the 'Spirit gives life, while the letter kills' Today they have it reversed because people are unwilling to forsake their sin and come to the Cross for destruction of the flesh. Don't attempt to emulate Mr. Muller's results without first having a FAITH that works by love, Purifies the heart and has Victory over the world. You may 'appear' to have the blessings of God in your life, but unless this kind of faith is at work in your soul (cleansing & purifying you daily!) Rom2:4 applies. You have 'believed' in vain. (1Cor15:2)
