About this audiobook

The Life of Trust is a classic work of nineteenth-century evangelical devotion, presenting George Müller's reflections on prayer, providence, and practical dependence upon God. Drawn largely from his journals and narratives of the Bristol orphan houses, the book combines spiritual autobiography, theological testimony, and documentary realism. Its plain, earnest prose belongs to the tradition of Protestant experiential writing, yet its power lies in its meticulous record of daily needs met without public appeals for money. George Müller, born in Prussia in 1805, underwent a dramatic conversion after a troubled youth and later became a minister in England. His work among orphans in Bristol, conducted on the principle that God alone would be asked for support, gave him a distinctive authority to write on faith. The book reflects not abstract speculation but a life tested by poverty, administration, pastoral care, and sustained religious discipline. Readers interested in Christian spirituality, philanthropy, or Victorian religious culture will find this volume both historically significant and morally challenging. It is especially valuable for those seeking a rigorous account of faith enacted in ordinary decisions, institutional responsibility, and perseverance.
