Müller was an inspirational figure in the church in his own time, and a model for Christians of every age.

Individual Titles

A Narrative of Some of the Lord's Dealings with George Müller, Vol. 1

Author: George Müller
Publisher: London: J. Nisbet & Co.
Publication Date: 1881
Pages: 604

In his 4-volume autobiography, A Narrative of Some of the Lord's Dealings with George Müller, Müller narrates the story of his life. He kept a careful record of his life—his thoughts, travels, inspirations—which together amount to a revealing look at both the minutia of the day-to-day events of his life, as well as a chronology of his spiritual journey. Volume 1, in particular, captures the latter particularly well. In it, Müller recounts the memories of his childhood—his vices, addictions, and rebellions. He also tells the story of his conversion. This volume covers the events in Müller’s life from his birth in 1805 through the end of 1844.

A Narrative of Some of the Lord's Dealings with George Müller, Vol. 2

Volume 2 begins the narrative Müller began in Volume 1, and covers the period between 1844 and 1856. The popularity of Volume 1, as well as hundreds of letters of encouragement, inspired Müller to continue the telling of his story. Volume 2 is focused on how God answers prayer, on how God provided for the orphans under Müller’s care, on the building of the Orphan House, and of Müller’s initial work with the Scriptural Knowledge Institution. This volume covers the years between 1844 and 1856.

It provides a revealing glimpse of the portion of what Müller considered to be the most important part of his ministry, including the process of building the orphanage, raising money for expansion, and the impact on Müller’s family. This volume covers the years between 1856 and 1874.

Brief Narrative of Facts Relative to the New Orphan House

Author: George Müller
Publisher: London: J. Nisbet & Co.
Publication Date: 1867
Pages: 68

Although Müller wrote at length in his autobiography about ministering to orphans, this volume summarizes and condenses his work into one compact volume.

He also writes about his own ministerial tasks, as well as the profound spiritual impact on his own life. This volume also contains valuable statistical information, expense records, summaries of correspondence, inventories of needed supplies, and other valuable historical information.

Preaching Tours and Missionary Labours of George Müller (of Bristol)

Author: Susanna Grace Mueller
Publisher: London: J. Nisbet & Co.
Publication Date: 1889
Pages: 315

At the age of 70, Müller began a series of missionary and preaching trips which took him to dozens of countries across four continents, including multiple trips across continental Europe, the United States, Canada, and the Far East. He began his travels upon realizing that his orphanages were well-funded and properly administered and could be run without him. Müller set out on his travels with the objective of “preaching the Gospel in the simplest way possible, that persons may understand how the blessing, which sinners receive through faith in Christ, is to be obtained.” He also aimed to “promote brotherly love among Christians,” reflecting his desire to heal denominational splits and theological rifts.
