This book is dedicated to the life and work of a Christian evangelist and the director of the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol, George Ferdinand Müller. It has, like the life it sketches, but one aim. It is simply and solely meant to extend, emphasize, and perpetuate George Müller's witness to a prayer-hearing God; to present, as plainly, forcibly, and briefly as is practical, the outlines of a human history, and an experience of the Lord's leadings and dealings, which furnish a sufficient answer to the question:Where is the lord God of Elijah?

Arthur Tappan Pierson (1837 – 1911) was an American, Presbyterian pastor, Christian leader, missionary and writer who preached over 13,000 sermons, wrote over fifty books, and gave Bible lectures as part of a transatlantic preaching ministry that made him famous in Scotland, England, and Korea.
