Description
These are devotionals for everyone who would like to become familiar - but not overwhelmed - with the great thinking of legendary men of God's Word. George MacDonald was an author, poet and Christian Congregational minister born Scotland in 1824. He became a pioneering figure in the field of modern fantasy literature and was the mentor of fellow-writer Lewis Carroll and a great influence to authors such as J. R. R. Tolkien, Madeleine L'Engle, and C. S. Lewis. In addition to his fairy tales and fiction, MacDonald wrote several works of Christian theology, including several collections of sermons. The language has been gently modernized for greater relevance to contemporary times, but none of the spiritual substance has been diluted. The material is profound, thought-provoking, and life-changing, but easy to follow. This is the perfect book to help you dig deeper and be challenged to expand your faith.

George MacDonald was a Scottish writer and minister who lived from 1824 to 1905. He wrote sermons, poems, and works of Christian theology, but his most influential work has been his pioneering fantasy literature and fairy tales. These seminal works laid the foundation for fantasy authors such as C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Lewis Carroll. He was a friend and mentor to Carroll and urged the writer to pursue publication for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. With his theological upbringing, MacDonald explored themes of faith, imagination, and the human spirit. His allegorical tales such as Phantastes and Lilith delved between the spiritual and the fantastical. MacDonald's writings continue to enchant and captivate readers, marking him as a visionary in the genre.
