George Muller (1805-1898) was one of the outstanding servants of the Lord in the 19th century. The great work of his life was to testify the reality of a prayer-hearing God to a society that was becoming increasingly skeptical toward God.

More than that, Merle's evangelical fervor, his commitment to biblical truth, and his fundamental sympathy with the spirit of the Reformation strike a responsive chord in the heart of the Christian.
