The biography of George Mueller has affected Christian leaders for generations.

I first heard about George Mueller before I went into the ministry, I probably was in college.

I picked up Mueller's book. I think I was maybe a senior in high school.

And I have that book to this day.

I don't suppose there's anybody in all of the world outside of my own family who has

impacted me as much as George Mueller.

Of all the biographies which I have read over the years,

I would have to say that Mueller stands out as one of the top three.

I remember very vividly taking the back of that book and as I would find some principle

or truth about Mueller's life, I would just write it down in the back.

More than 30 years later, I'm still rereading Mueller's autobiography and being blessed by it.

His life affected me deeply in my college days, and everything has really been different since then.

I was thumbing through that here last week and just realized to my amazement how many of

those principles have driven my life for 35 years. This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee

DeMoss for Monday, September 19th.

The aim of Mueller's life was that people would see God to be gloriously trustworthy and satisfying as he cared for orphans and was able to roll all of his burdens on to the Lord.

I have found a friend in the life of George Mueller, and he's had a great impact upon my life as well.

Have you read any good books lately?

Today, Nancy will explain why she gets so much out of Christian biographies.

If you're not in the habit of reading about heroes of faith, get ready to be invited on an

adventure.

September 2005 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of one of my very favorite Christian heroes of the faith, George Mueller.
