Status Updates From The Curate of Glaston

I'm now reading about an MC who restores old books for a living. Such a lost art.

One thing about being home sick... it does make time for reading.

Halfway through

This is an old book and the way women are portrayed... yikes. They're either so pure they have no minds of their own or they are conniving villains out to destroy godly men. I have no words lol.

Is it just me, or has this series not aged as well as MacDonald's other books? Lots of preaching, not a lot of plot in book 1.

There's something so nostalgic about George MacDonald books. It's been too long.

Guessing on page count. But WOW... some GREAT stuff in these chapters.

I am falling in love with this one. Oh boy...

Kind of a slow start. But just as I was done for the night, I got to where I didn't want to be done.

Okay, so I'm done with two of the books. I still like The Curate's Awakening best, but The Lady's Confession turned out really well. There were some great lessons in there.

Oh, tonight had some GREAT quotes. Wow. Like:

"True authority is born in a heart of submission."
"Surely more people would allow themselves to become thus changed if they realized how greatly the coming of the kingdom of God is slowed by a simple lack of courtesy...true courtesy, putting others at ease by our look or tone, is a most lovely and indispensable grace."

Oh, boy. This one already promises to be good. I thought I'd read it before but I don't think I have now. Hmmm...

Just finished "The Curate's Awakening" (Thomas Wingate, Curate) and I'd forgotten how much I LOVE that story. Whoa... Only MacDonald can write a sermon disguised as a story and you still not feel preached at despite the fact that you have been.
