This book is dedicated to the life and work of a Christian evangelist and the director of the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol, George Ferdinand Müller. It has, like the life it sketches, but one aim. It is simply and solely meant to extend, emphasize, and perpetuate George Müller's witness to a prayer-hearing God; to present, as plainly, forcibly, and briefly as is practical, the outlines of a human history, and an experience of the Lord's leadings and dealings, which furnish a sufficient answer to the question:Where is the lord God of Elijah?

God Had Mercy on Me: The Life & Work of George Müller

In 'George Müller of Bristol, and His Witness to a Prayer-Hearing God,' Arthur T. Pierson offers an inspiring biographical account of George Müller, a Christian evangelist and the director of the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol, England. Skillfully reproduced by DigiCat Publishing, this edition breathes new life into the historical narrative, as Pierson meticulously chronicles Müller's unwavering faith and the astonishing outcomes of his prayer-based approach to provision and problem-solving. The literary style is both heartfelt and earnest, designed to resonate with believers and skeptics alike, and situates itself firmly in the tradition of Christian hagiographical literature, focusing on the life of a devout individual as a testament to divine intervention and influence in the mortal realm. Arthur T. Pierson, himself a respected preacher and theologian, was deeply influenced by the practical demonstration of faith he observed in Müller's life. This detailed exposition of Müller's journey is as much Pierson's own reflection on spiritual reliance as a historical account. With a reputable ministry and scholarly background, Pierson channels his theological insights into drawing out the enduring themes of trust, divine provision, and the power of prayer, which underpinned Müller's endeavors. His narrative is thus not only a biography but also a compelling argument for the efficacy of prayer and living a devout Christian life. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the history of Christian philanthropy, the power of faith, or the personal stories of those who have profoundly impacted society through their religious convictions. Pierson's work serves as an enlightening chronicle that reaches beyond the life of George Müller, providing a window into the Victorian era's social challenges and the way one man's spiritual resolve surpassed expectations and transformed thousands of lives.

Excerpt from Shall We Continue in Sin?: A Vital Question for Believers Answered in the Word of God; The Substance of Addresses Delivered in Great Britain and Ireland in 1896 We cannot mistake the subject here treated. The sixth chapter opens with the plain question: S/zall we continue in sin? A question substantially repeated in verse 15, Shall we sin? And in chapter vii. 7, Is the Law Sin? In all three cases the answer is a short, energetic, and most emphatic God forbid I The very thought is to be put away as a fatal snare to the soul, as when Christ said to Satan, Get thee hence I Nothing could more clearly teach that continuance in sinning is to be regarded by every true child of God as both needless and wrong. The doctrine of sinlessness is not here taught, but of not continuing in sin. Being without sin, and not going on in sin, are two quite different things.* Comp. 1 John i. 8 - 11. 1.

Shall We Continue in Sin?

e-artnow presents to you this meticulously edited George Müller collection. _x000D_ "The word of God alone is our standard of judgment in spiritual things... the Holy Spirit alone can teach us about our state by nature, show us the need of a Saviour, enable us to believe in Christ, explain to us the Scriptures, help us in preaching, etc. The first evening that I shut myself into my room, to give myself to prayer and meditation over the Scriptures, I learned more in a few hours than I had done during a period of several months previously. But the particular difference was, that I received real strength for my soul in doing so."_x000D_ George Müller (1805-1898) was a Christian evangelist and the director of the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol, England. He cared for 10,024 orphans during his lifetime, and provided educational opportunities for the orphans to the point that he was even accused by some of raising the poor above their natural station in British life. He established 117 schools which offered Christian education to more than 120,000. The theology that guided George Müller's work was shaped by an experience in his middle twenties when he "came to prize the Bible alone as his standard of judgement". Müller wrote frequently about the stewardship of money and the non-reliance on earthly riches, and how God would bless the man who kept to these principles, and felt that laying his own experiences bare would prove the truth of his claims. His personal income, from unsolicited gifts (he refused any kind of salary) rose from £151 in 1831 to more than £2,000 in 1870. However, he retained only around £300 a year for himself and his family, the rest he gave away. Müller's faith in God strengthened day by day and he spent hours in daily prayer and Bible reading._x000D_ Content:_x000D_ Paths to Power_x000D_ The Pursuit of God _x000D_ The Divine Conquest _x000D_ How to be Filled with the Holy Spirit _x000D_ The Root of the Righteous _x000D_ The Knowledge of the Holy

Life is God's first gift, and on its use depend the enjoyment and employment of all other gifts. How, then, shall the most be made of life? The Divine Creator says, "I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit." For a profitless life, that worst of all waste, there can be neither excuse nor extenuation. - p. 9-10.
