About the author

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.

Reviews

[Kellie Wilson]

This book has quotes divided by topics like God, Nature, Obedience, and Love. I like the shorter, pithy quotes like "All misery is God unknown." Lots of the quotes go a lot deeper and some get messy like, "Life is no series of chances with a few providences sprinkled between to keep up a justly failing belief, but one providence of God..." It was actually a difficult book to read through because it was hard reading quotes out of context.
