I like this story already. I love stories that have a theme of redemption, and this seems like George is heading down the same path. I'd like to know what happens between him and Beta.

A historical fiction having inspiring messages about repentance, faith, and total submission to God's sounds like an insightful read. I also like the fact that it has a seamless flow, and therefore, looking forward to reading it. Thank you for this wonderful review!

I find the book to be intriguing, but I'm not sure about reading a religious book as of now. Thank you for the review!

This story is relatable. It was sad that the death of George's mother couldn't set him straight. But I think it makes more sense that Beta's transformation will be the potential trigger. Sometimes it takes the transformation of someone who you caused mayhem with to really open your eyes and cause you to have a rethink. The dynamics of Beta's and George's relationship before and after Beta's transformation would be a joy to read about. Sounds like a wonderful story.

This is an interesting and educative story because it teaches children the importance of learning to their patents inorder to reduce the amount of mistakes they make in their life.

Show me your friends and is will tell you who you are. I believe is a popular saying that is very well underated. Peer pressure is a real and serious thing . hopefully Beta would be able to change George for the better. Great review.

I like the message of the book. This book shows that even an old personality of George can be right when you turned to God. Same with anyone who wishes to change. I enjoyed your review!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting historical fiction about George Müller, a young man who lives a reckless party life until his friend introduces him to a Bible group and he starts his journey towards redemption, love, faith and God. While I suspect that it might not be for everyone, it might be worth a second look. Well done.

This book follows the story of main character George through a third person narrative. The seamless narration with an easy sense of humor makes an enjoyable read. I like the point made by the author that we must accept the will of God despite the outcome of events. A thorough review.

I like book with humor, and I want to find out what happens with George and his party lifestyle. However, as a non-believer the message of God's kingdom is not appealing to me.

Let The Children Come: The Life of George Müller is a novel by Tom Fay that follows the life of George Müller, a teenager who is destined to live a life of rebellion and sin. George's father's plan to send him to military school leads him to pretend to be a good son at home, but his life changes when he meets his best friend Beta, who shares his newfound faith and invites him to join a Bible study group.
The novel follows George's journey of redemption, faith, love, and submission to God's will. The author uses a third-person point of view to tell a compelling story of redemption, faith, love, and submission. The story is filled with heartbreaking events, but the author's writing style is enjoyable, with seamless narration and easy-to-follow progression.
The novel also features a sense of humor, with the characters' conversations showcasing empathy, confusion, and embarrassment. The author's sense of humor is appreciated, as the tragedies in the book make the humor welcome. However, there is a minor issue with the characterization, as the main characters' backstories are not elaborate.
The book's reviving message is the importance of prayer and trusting in God's provision. The author's favorite lesson is that we should accept and be at peace with God's will despite the outcome of events.
