C.S. Lewis: George MacDonald

Loved it! Amazing how much Lewis own thought and often words are an echo of MacDonald. This edition was very nice too. I ordered two and preferred this one. Layout, paper, print all added to the experience of the thought.I highly recommend it- profound truth in short pithy statements! Needs to be...

Extreme, complex, multi-faceted ... wisdom in sound bites

No wonder CS was drawn to this man's writing! Lewis sorts through MacDonald's body of work to get to real nuggets. MacDonald packs more theological mind-fodder in one or two sentences than most can pack in a book. There are sound bites that will occupy your thoughts all day.

Excellent, Short Devotionals

George MacDonald has a lot of spiritual wisdom; I love short little tidbits of his thinking that I myself can think on. If you like MacDonald (or Lewis) and his books, especially the spiritual aspect, you will love these quotes.

Star Pupil Lewis re-introduces his master in "George MacDonald"

In CS Lewis' 1945 novel, "The Great Divorce," 19th century fantasy poet/pastor George MacDonald guides Lewis' narrarator on passages between hell (the joyless, fearful "grey city") and heaven. The narrator (by extension, Lewis himself) acknowledges MacDonald's life influence from when, at 16, the...

Roots

Always interesting to discover the roots of an author's world.(By the way, Amazon's packaging/quality is 5*.)

I guess I just don't like anthologies

This is probably the only book written by C.S. Lewis that I will give less that 4 stars. I think it's great that he wanted to have an anthology of George Macdonald, but it just didn't work. Don't get me wrong, the quotes are great, but it just doesn't really give you an idea of who Goerge...

The Highest Condition of the Human Will

George McDonald has lots to say about how to act when you are not feeling well loved or connected to God. In short, how do we act when we're unsure of our faith or angry?For example:The Highest Condition of the Human WillThe highest condition of the human will is in sight. . . . I say not the...

Having not read this particular book...

Maybe it's too easy to take one thing that someone says (anyone says) and not make sense from it once it's out of context. I recommend reading MacDonald in context. His insight is impeachable if you're goal is to know God and be known by God. Otherwise, MacDonald's goal was never to write a...

Just because it feels profound doesn't make it true.

If you like to get people's perspective on God, then this is a good book. If you want emotion and reason to pull together to reveal truth, then it flounders. Even as does C.S. Lewis, George McDonald has a tendency to make movingly worded, but scripturally, or even reasonably, baseless...

A great introduction to George MacDonald's work

MacDonald was a master Christian apologist of the late 1800s, and an enormous influence on CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien, WH Auden, and Charles Williams, to name a few. His fantasy novels and sermons have been a source of inspiration for every generation of Christian apologists and fantasy novelists...
