George Müller, The Children’s Champion

George Müller’s life didn’t have a promising start. By the age of sixteen, he had learned to lie, steal, drink and gamble and his future looked bleak – but God had other plans! After conversion, 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.

George Muller, The Children's Champion is an enjoyable biography of a well-known man of Christian service. Because the book deals with some mature themes, I would say that it is intended for young people in the 12-14 year age-range. George Muller lived a life of sin in his early years which is somewhat detailed in this book and necessarily so. The author discusses sin and repentance in a tasteful manner, not glorifying the sin in any way. She writes in such a manner as to convey the fact that the consequences of our sins are not always sudden nor are the consequences always immediate. The book covers George Muller's childhood, how he had foolishly lived and the circumstances of his becoming a Christian. It chronicles his courtship and marriage and the growth us his and his wife's ministry to orphans. The book includes topics for further thought and reflection as well as a helpful timeline. Angela J.
