Read about the life of George Muller, who turned from his cheating and thieving ways to follow Jesus an ended up becoming a missionary and starting an orphanage
Short book with some easy-to-read sentences and some pages with big blocks of text. Ideal for kids and parents to read together
This
small-format short biography on George Muller teaches kids that we can trust
God because He provides for us. George Muller used to be a cheater and a thief,
always looking for ways to get money, until he met Jesus and his life was
changed. He later became a missionary and started an orphanage! Although
marketed to younger readers, a better plan may be for younger readers to study with
a parent or teacher. For each page spread, one page has short, easy-to-read
text and a large illustration, but the opposite pages have quite big blocks of
text that would likely be difficult for a beginning reader. A parent may choose
to read the long section and then let the child try the shorter section.
Colorful illustrations abound throughout. 24 pgs, pb.

What would you do if you needed some money?
Would
you pick some of a tree in the garden? Of course you wouldn’t – because

have to work hard.
George Müller
didn’t like to work and tried to get his money in other ways. He would
cheat and steal and was eventually thrown in prison. Find out how God
changed George from a taker to a giver!
