This month we celebrate our 25th Anniversary - We Thank the Lord for You.

We are delighted that you use the free resources available at Monergism. Our mission is to provide open access to scripturally sound and theologically rich Christian literature, ensuring cost is never a barrier to building a robust Christian library. While these resources are free to all, sustaining this ministry requires funding.

Last year, over 1 million new visitors accessed our resources. Given that less than 1% of readers donate, we humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry. If everyone reading this gave just $5, we could meet our 2024 budget in no time.

Every contribution makes a difference - whether it's a monthly gift of $20 or a one-time donation of $10, $25, $100, or more. You can also read our business plan to see how your gifts are used to further this mission.

Monergism (CPRF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible.

Jehovah Magnified: Sermons and Addresses (eBook)

by George Müller

in ePub, .mobi & .pdf formats

MANY of the readers of this book may be aware, that, from time to time, some of the Addresses which I have delivered on particular occasions, have been published, in the form of little books. 

These Addresses were taken down, more or less, while I was delivering them; and some were handed to me for revision, but others were not. 

Now, while these Addresses have no merit, as regards composition, yet, having heard of many instances of blessing through them, I was led a long time since to the thought of collecting them together, and publishing them in two or more volumes. But while my mind was thus occupied, I learned that Mr. Mack (bookseller and publisher in Bristol) had actually taken steps himself towards publishing some of these Addresses, as he also considered they might be helpful to many Christians, as well as to unbelievers. I was absent on a preaching tour on the Continent, when I heard of this; but, as soon as the information reached me, I wrote to Mr. Mack, and expressed a wish to be the Editor of the volume myself, because I purpose (as stated before) to follow it up by publishing other Addresses, to which this book may be regarded only as an introductory volume; and to this he kindly agreed. 

It is necessary to refer to this, because the book was to a great extent already printed, before I heard anything about it, and also because some things found therein, such as my autograph (page 19) and the Addresses about the preaching tours would not have been introduced, if I had been able at an earlier period to take the matter in hand. I mention this, lest the publication of the autograph should appear to be vanity on my part, and as to the Addresses about the preaching tours, they were only intended for Christian friends in Bristol, who had particularly prayed for me with reference to those tours. A few little mistakes have also crept in, which. I, as author, humanly speaking, should at once have discovered in correcting the proof sheets, but which were not found out, until it was too late to alter them, the whole having come under my eye, only when the greater part of the book had been already printed. The reader will see, however, that they are mistakes of the printer, which are not to be put down to my account; but they are so obvious, that notwithstanding them, I expect the book, with the blessing of God, will do much good. From page 192, I had the opportunity of correcting the proofs myself, when I made a few trifling alterations. 

What I have stated, about the book having been prepared for the press, by another hand than my own, will likewise account for the way in which I am spoken of in several passages. 

With the help of God, I hope very shortly to bring out a collection of other Addresses, a work for which I trust I shall have time and strength, although my labours at present are of a very arduous character. I am now travelling from one city to another, on a Continental preaching tour, accompanied by my beloved wife; and after having laboured for three months in Switzerland, with the manifest help and blessing of God, we are about to proceed into Germany. 

May I request the Christian reader, kindly to follow us with his prayers, as we greatly need the help of God in a variety of ways. 

To the Christian reader also this little volume is affectionately commended, in order that he may ask the Lord's rich blessing upon it.

GEORGE MÜLLER.
