The Life of Trust (ePub)

George Müller (1805-1898) remains a towering figure in the landscape of Christian faith due to his unwavering trust in God's provision and care. Best known for his work with orphans in 19th century England, Müller set up the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol and cared for over 10,000 children during his lifetime without ever soliciting financial support through fundraising initiatives, relying solely on prayer and divine provision. His seminal work, 'The Life of Trust: Being a Narrative of the Lord's Dealings With George Müller,' vividly accounts his journey from a life of sin and rebellion to one devoted to the service of God and humanity. In this autobiography, Müller details his spiritual enlightenment, emphasizing the power of faith, prayer, and God's faithfulness. He imbued his literary narrative with the didactic intent to inspire and instill trust in the Divine, creating a work that resonates with the core tenets of Christian piety and dedication. Müller's simplicity of style and profundity of message combined to produce not just an account of his own life, but also a manual of Christian living for generations of believers. His impact extends beyond his written works into his practical legacy, providing a model of social responsibility and the power of faith-driven action.
