The Creation in Christ, The Knowing of the Son, The Mirrors of the Lord, The Truth, Freedom, Kingship, Justice, Light, The Displeasure of Jesus, Righteousness, The Final Unmasking, The Inheritance Unspoken Sermons Third Series is the concluding book of George MacDonald's classic spiritual treasury, now re released in three separate volumes, as originally published (and as owned by C S Lewis who said he owed his "greatest debt" to these works.) Faith-building, erudite, and always compelling, the twelve chapters in each book will give the reader a lifetime of truth to ponder, with pages of new light often shed on a single text of scripture. Here we see not only the outcome of a life of close biblical study, and a richness of expression that often rises to greatness, but the heart of a man to whom Christ was all in all, and who could truly say that "all that is not God is death." The cover design of these new editions is inspired by the vintage cover art from the 1800s, and the individual volumes provide not only an authentic reading experience, but allow for a clearer print size at a still-affordable price.
Author
George MacDonald was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. He was educated at Aberdeen University and after a short and stormy career as a minister at Arundel, where his unorthodox views led to his dismissal, he turned to fiction as a means of earning a living. He wrote over 50 books. Known particularly for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy novels, MacDonald inspired many authors, such as G.K. Chesterton, W. H. Auden, J.R.R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and Madeleine L'Engle. Lewis wrote that he regarded MacDonald as his "master": "Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours later," said Lewis, "I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence." Elizabeth Yates wrote of Sir Gibbie, "It moved me the way books did when, as a child, the great gates of literature began to open and first encounters with noble thoughts and utterances were unspeakably thrilling." Even Mark Twain, who initially disliked MacDonald, became friends with him, and there is some evidence that Twain was influenced by MacDonald.
