I Thanked the Lord and Asked for More

'Yet again I thanked the Lord and asked for more', George Muller wrote in April 1866, after he had received several donations for the orphans in his care. Muller is famous for his faith in God's provision for these orphans, but there was so much more to Muller than this. He pastored Bethesda Chapel in Bristol, sponsored home and foreign mission through his Scripture Knowledge Institution, supported schools in Bristol and throughout Britain and elsewhere, embarked on worldwide preaching tours, and decisively shaped the identity of the Brethren movement. Neill Summerton objectively explains all these aspects of Muller's life and work, aided by many freshly composed charts and tables. As the author hopes, this book will 'help to keep alive knowledge of a life and work that deserves still to be celebrated, in Bristol, in his adopted country, and across the world.'
