George MacDonald was a Scottish author, poet and Christian Congregational minister. He became a pioneering figure in the field of modern fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow-writer Lewis Carroll. In addition to his fairy tales, MacDonald wrote several works of Christian theology, including several collections of sermons.
A great story as well as a great treatise for eternal life and for the existence of God. Lots of sermons and preaching, but solid truths through and through. Thomas Wingfold is a preacher assigned to a church who realizes that he is a doubter in the very Word he preaches. He is an honest man, though, and seeks out the truth. In doing so, he finds it to the extent that it convinces and satisfies him like nothing else, while also finding love for a woman who selfishly loves her dying criminal brother.
Read all of the volumes as one book. GMac is the best at making you want to exemplify the best characters. Less love story, more drama and lots of good practical application.
