God's grace

This book was outstanding, and i was unable to put it down! God is amazing, that he took a young helpless boy, rejected by people, by his own family and yet was able to empathise with street children and give them the love and encouragment that God had given him. I pray that God will continue to use Charles Mully and his family to reach out and touch the lives of children who feel unloved and rejected. I recommend this book to anyone who needs encouragement themself as this book will inspire a reader to know God at a deeper level.

Awe Inspiring Story of Faith

I could not put this book down. I recommend it to anyone struggling with personal adversity and questioning the faithfulness of God. No rational person would have given Charles Mulli a chance of surviving on the streets of Kenya after abandonment at 6 years old. Empowered by an unshakeable faith and obedient heart, he rose up from the depths of poverty and despair to the heights of leadership and prosperity. More importantly, he never stopped listening to God's call. Once on top of the world, he sacrificed everything he had to bring love and hope to the forgotten. Throw out your self-help books and make room for this one...it is certain to humble and inspire you.

An inspiration and a challenge

Charles Mulli is a man with a mission and with a vision. Understanding what it is to grow up with nothing and then through hard work to create a successful life for himself and his family, he has chosen to help the helpless, to devote his life to rescuing children from the streets of Kenya's cities. After reading "Father to the Fatherless" we can understand what an impact one person can have who chooses the unfailing riches in heaven over temporal wealth on this earth. To have over 700 children calling you "Father", now that is amazing! Mulli's story is told in a captivating way, and I'm sure will be an inspiration and challenge to all readers of this book.

Father of the Fatherless

A wonderful heartfelt book about a remarkable man with an aMazing life to tell. There are some people who grow up in poverty and become successful family/business men. There are VERY few that turn around and sell EVERYTHING to help the most helpless...the orphaned children of Africa. His love and commitment know no bounds. Well worth reading.

An inspirational story!

I found it hard to put this book down, as every page captured me! Charles Mulli was raised in absolute poverty and despair, and against all odds, raised up to become a man of power, integrity and true greatness, and with total trust in the Lord, has given hundreds of helpless children hope and freedom. I have personally spent time with the Mulli family, and it was a life changing experience, for which I will forever be grateful. This story will inspire you, stir your emotions, challange you to also make a difference and demonstate just what God can do when you put your faith and trust in Him. Well worth reading.
