“Faith,” alleged the agnostic Samuel Clemens, know as Mark Twain, “is believing what you know isn’t true but wish it were.” George Mueller wouldn’t have agreed. And who was George Mueller? In the event that this name doesn’t register, let me explain briefly. As his name suggests, Mueller was born in Kroppenstaedt, Prussia, and began his education in the classics in a German university. Invited to the home of a friend, he heard a man drop to his knees and pray in such a way that he was deeply convicted and eventually was converted.
