The Life of Trust distills George Müller's long experiment in providence into an autobiographical record that is at once ledger, sermon, and Victorian case study. In spare, exacting prose, dated entries of need and provision pair doctrinal reflection on prayer with audited details-names, sums, meals, rents-for the Bristol orphan houses. Within nineteenth-century evangelical autobiography, it converses with Augustine and Bunyan yet bears the empirical temper of its age, inviting scrutiny of method as much as devotion. Born in Prussia and converted while a theology student, Müller settled in England, where in 1834 he founded the Scriptural Knowledge Institution and soon began the Ashley Down orphan houses. Refusing debt or solicitation, he publicly tested his convictions by recording answers to prayer across decades. Pastoral work among emerging Brethren circles, a multilingual education, and later global preaching tours shaped a vocation that fused rigorous bookkeeping with an experiential doctrine of providence. For students of religious history, philanthropy, and devotional classics, this book offers both data and doxology. It rewards skeptics with method and believers with encouragement, clarifying charity's ethics amid industrial poverty. Read it to see disciplined trust reshape a city's care for children-and to test the audacity of prayer.
