The Life of Trust (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. An Inspiring Autobiographical Account of a MissionaryBy George Müller
Length16h 54m
About this audiobook
The Life of Trust is a classic nineteenth-century devotional memoir and theological testimony, presenting George Müller's account of a life governed by prayer, providence, and radical dependence upon God. Drawn from his journals and public narratives, the book combines spiritual autobiography, practical exhortation, and documentary evidence of answered prayer. Its style is plain, earnest, and methodical, reflecting the evangelical culture of Victorian Britain and the wider Protestant emphasis on personal piety, scriptural authority, and missionary confidence. George Müller (1805–1898), born in Prussia and later active in Bristol, was a pastor, evangelist, and founder of orphan houses that cared for thousands of children without conventional fundraising appeals. His early moral restlessness, conversion, and association with the Plymouth Brethren shaped his distrust of ecclesiastical display and his commitment to living by faith. The book emerges directly from his institutional labors and his desire to demonstrate God's faithfulness in ordinary and extraordinary needs. This volume is recommended to readers interested in Christian spirituality, Victorian evangelicalism, and the history of faith-based philanthropy. More than an inspirational narrative, it is a disciplined argument for trust as a lived theology, inviting reflection on prayer, dependence, stewardship, and the ethical imagination of religious service.
