Enriched Edition. A Victorian Evangelical Life of Prayer, Orphan Care, and Faith-Based CharityBy Arthur T. Pierson
Length15h 40m
About this audiobook
George Muller of Bristol: His Witness to a Prayer-Hearing God is a reverent yet carefully organized biography of the German-born evangelist whose Bristol orphanages became a nineteenth-century emblem of practical faith. Pierson traces Muller's conversion, renunciation of regular salary, Scriptural convictions, and vast charitable labors, presenting them as evidence of divine providence rather than mere philanthropy. Written in the devotional-biographical style of late Victorian evangelical literature, the book combines narrative, testimony, and moral exposition, situating Muller among Protestant movements that prized prayer, missions, and radical dependence upon God. Arthur T. Pierson was an American Presbyterian minister, Bible teacher, missionary advocate, and prolific religious writer whose own career was shaped by transatlantic evangelicalism. His concern for missions, holiness, and the authority of Scripture made Muller a natural subject. Pierson admired lives that demonstrated doctrine in action, and his access to Muller's records and spiritual legacy enabled him to craft not only a life story but an argument for prayer as a disciplined, lived theology. This book is recommended for readers interested in Christian biography, Victorian evangelical culture, the history of charitable institutions, or the theology of prayer. It remains especially valuable for those seeking a portrait of faith expressed through administrative rigor, compassion, and unwavering spiritual conviction.
