Beschreibung
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.

Über den Autor
George MacDonald (1824 -1905) was a Scottish author, poet and Christian minister. He was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His writings have been cited as a major literary influence by many notable authors including W. H. Auden, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Walter de la Mare, E. Nesbit and Madeleine L'Engle. C. S. Lewis wrote that he regarded MacDonald as his "master": "Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours later," said Lewis, "I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence".
