Let the Children Come: The Life of George Muller by Tom Fey

Let the Children Come: The life Of George Muller is a fiction book based on a real person. George Muller was a real man who lived in the 1800’s. This book, written by Tom Fey, took the story of George Muller and modernized it into today’s world. George now had a cell phone and drove a car for example instead of the life he led in the 1800’s. George now is a part of the current society.

At the age of fifteen, George’s mother died. After the death of his mother, George turned to alcohol and partying ways. At the age of twenty, while he was home from school for the summer, he reconnected with a friend named Beta. She invited him to a bible study which altered the course of his life. George changed his major to theology. This action caused his father to disown George because his father blamed God for his mother’s death. Over the next seventy years, George opened orphanages, which he called academies, to help children. He saved many children throughout his lifetime. George struggled through his life, but he never let that stop him. He put all his problems in God’s hands and the money he needed to survive and open the academies would present itself.

Tom Fey wrote the life story of George Muller in an incredibly unique way. The book is truly a story of his life which has been modernized. This made the book more relatable to the reader. Some of the people, places, and names of the academies have been changed. In the book, George was in the United States when in fact, he was in Europe. The book is written in the third person so Fey is telling the story. It is a story of faith, endurance, and survival which is the reason I am giving this book a 4 out of 4

In conclusion, I would recommend this book to teenagers or adults. In the first few chapters, there is some occasional profanity. I also did find a few errors during the first few chapters of the book. A few sentences did not sound right or were not making the point that Tom Fey was trying to convey.
