It's fascinating to see how the author, Tom Fay, has woven a narrative around the life of George Müller, exploring themes of redemption, faith, and submission to the will of God. The complexities of George's journey, especially his struggles with waywardness and the influence of his friend Beta, add depth to the storyline. Congrats to the BOTD.

This is an interesting storyline; the road from waywardness to redemption, it won't be easy for him. I like the fact the author added humour to the book that makes the book not to be too serious. The effect friend can make on a person cannot be underestimated, looking at how George changed because of the influence of his friend Beta, good friendship is good in life.

Let The Children Come

As your typical teenager (in my opinion) they are the life of the oarty, smoking and drinking, while also morning is mother’s death. Due to the way that George saw things, he and as father stayed at the odds. Later on we find that with Gods help things would change for him. Sometimes all it takes os for us to go through a rough patch and God lifts us right out of it in order to become a better person. I believe that anyone who picks this book up will love it. Congratulations!
