A veritable orchard of faith-building fruit.
For the first time in over eighty years, the full autobiography of George Müller is back in print in a beautiful hardback edition. This covers Müller's entire life and ministry, especially the Bristol Orphanage, in which God met the needs of 120,000 children over a period of 63 years. The subtitle "A Million and a Half in Answer to Prayer" is better appreciated when we understand that a million and a half pounds then would be equal in today's U.S. dollars to 75 million dollars. This amount came in over a period of 63 years through prayer to provide for the orphans. The volume includes over forty original photos of Müller, his staff and associates, the orphan homes, and the orphans themselves. Müller's full account of God's faithfulness will inspire any reader with the reality that there is indeed a living God who is glorified by answering believing prayer.

Autobiography of George Muller or a Million and a Half in Answer to Prayer is one of the greatest and most important testimonies to the faithfulness of God in the history of the Church. Outside of the Scriptures, the autobiography of George Muller has been the most influential book in my life and I recommend it without reservation. Up until now, this book has been available only in its abridged form, but is now offered in its entirety. In the following you can read what others are saying about this book and find information on how it may be obtained.
- Paul David Washer, HeartCry Missionary Society

George Müller has for years been a pacesetter for me in prayer. His Autobiography is a veritable orchard of faith-building fruit. I have found Müller's way absolutely crucial in my own life-be with the Lord before I am with anyone else and let Him speak to me first.
- John Piper, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota

I am so pleased that Westminster Literature Resources has published this new edition of George Müller's Autobiography. The story you will read in these pages is one of the most remarkable episodes in the history of the Christian church. As you read through its pages, you will see something of the growth of the man and his ideas. His conviction was that God is the living God and the secret of life is to delight yourself in Him.

a wonderful guide
I found this book to be really fascinating.Living as I do next door to the U.S., and having some familiarity with American politics and government, I found this book filled so many gaps in my knowledge so succinctly that I would think many Americans could profitably refer to this over and over again.The ridiculous election of 2000 filled many of we foreigners with confusion of how the self-appointed 'World's Greatest Democracy' could have such a baffling 'system' of electing the president and vice-president, and this book helped me so much understanding the complexities of what was going on.I commend the authors heartily for conceiving of such a book and filling it with so much information...the Supreme Court cases are marvels of conciseness.I hope that if you're interested in American Government, be you student, teacher or just an interested citizen, you buy this book.It's a steal at the price. ...
