  “George MacDonald is one of the most insightful, perceptive, and wisest of the Christian writers I've read. A nineteenth century Scottish preacher and novelist, there is a delightfully reverent and humble character to everything he writes, and in his most awkward phrasing there are still notes at once of romance, nobility, and humility. Reading MacDonald's nonfiction writings, even in short snippets, one realizes how truly wrote C.S. Lewis when he said that he didn't think he had ever written a single book without quoting from the man. MacDonald, and Lewis, have some of the best thoughts and understanding about Christianity, at once chastening, sobering, and whetting the appetite for God and Creation and life all alike. A good book to dip into at random, or read in long sittings. ”
