A Classic by George MacDonald. If you've never read any of his non-fiction, this is the one to pick up.
He ends every chapter with a prayer. The most beautiful I found was this:
"O Father, thou art All-in-all, perfect beyond the longing of thy children, and we are altogether thine. Thou wilt make us pure and loving and free. We shall stand fearless in thy presence, becasue perfect in thy love. Then shall thy children be of good cheer, infinite in the love of each other, More...

I've been reading this for ages, and for good reason. I get through a few pages at a time, stumbling backwards afterward with hunger, tears, and remembrance of simpler, more trusting times within my heart. George MacDonald was C.S. Lewis' most profound spiritual mentor, and if you in any way enjoy Lewis' work, I must recommend this book to you.
It's hefty, meaty, and worth the time it takes to spend with it. MacDonald's reflections upon the Presence and love of God, Christ, Man as and fo More...

George Macdonald's theology I absolutely love! His Unspoken Sermons were challenging and very powerful. C.S.Lewis spoke very highly of this work, and I certainly see why. George Macdonald rejects cold intellectualism and the theology which portrays God as no better than a Moloch of a tyrant, and instead trust in the great beautiful God, Jesus Christ himself and no theories about the "atonement." This book has changed my life, as all of his other one's have. "Liltih" would s

Although it took me 6 months to get through this book, I feel like every time I opened it I devoured the text like I was eating steak with a good Bordeaux in the South of France. I savored every bite of McDonald's offering of his thoughts- slowly and with much delight as the taste took me in so many wonderful directions. Sometimes one sentence would make me think for weeks. He takes on some difficult passages in scripture with boldness like few I've read. His thoughts made me feel and think abou

Only read the first series in here, but I plan on re-reading at some point. Three stars because of how difficult his prose is to read. The theology though is excellent. Even if you disagree with his Universalism, he presents a better case than any other writer on the subject I've run across.
Also, if you're a C.S. Lewis lover, you should really read MacDonald. Lewis cribs heavily from him, although he comes up with slightly different conclusions.

Excellent writer. I don't agree with all his views (universalism especially), but he thinks things through very intensely. He always tries to push toward Christ in everything.

These sermons hold the theological keys to unlock all of MacDonalds fantasies, novels, and childrens stories. The only trouble is that the language takes a bit of getting used to. But once I became familar with MacDonalds style, my life has never been the same. I am helplessly addicted. I have read a number of these sermons over a dozen times.
I will never finish reading MacDonald...
