{"product_id":"2940150471580","title":"The Biography George Muller","description":"This is a new edition of George Müller (A Man of Faith and Prayer.) \u003cbr\u003eMore than 20 illustrations have been added. Four dissertations by George Müller have been added also, and a linked table of contents, as well as the updating of archaic words.\u003cbr\u003eIn this powerful heroic biography, Arthur T. Pierson explains the exploratory life journey of George Müller, the wonderful man of faith and prayer who spared nothing in his zeal for the gospel of Christ.\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Müller (1805-1898), English preacher and philanthropist, was born near Halberstadt, Germany, on the 27th of September 1805, the son of an excise man (formerly, a government agent who collects excise tax on goods and prevents smuggling). He subsequently became a naturalized British subject.\u003cbr\u003eEducated in Germany, he resolved in 1826 to devote himself to missionary work, and in 1828 went to London to prepare for an appointment offered him by the Society for promoting Christianity among the Jews. In 1830, however, he gave up the idea of missionary work, and became minister of a small congregation at Teignmouth, Devonshire. He contended that the temporal as well as the spiritual needs of life could be supplied by prayer, and on this principle abolished pew rents and refused to take a fixed salary. After two years at Teignmouth, Müller removed to Bristol where he spent the rest of his life.\u003cbr\u003eHe devoted himself particularly to the care of orphan children. He began by taking a few under his charge, but in the course of time their number increased to 2000. He settled in five large houses erected for the purpose at Ashley Down, near Bristol. The money required for the carrying on of this work was voluntarily contributed, mainly as a result of the wide circulation of Müller's narrative, The Lord's Dealings with George Müller.\u003cbr\u003eWhen he was over seventy he started on a preaching mission, which lasted nearly seventeen years and included Europe, America, India, Australia and China.","brand":"Delmarva Publications, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47109410160880,"sku":"2940150471580","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150471580_p0.jpg?v=1763745903","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150471580","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
