The author of George MacDonald: Scotland’s Beloved Storyteller presents a wealth of Christian wisdom culled from the works of the great Victorian writer
The nineteenth century author, poet, and Christian scholar George MacDonald has inspired generations with his powerful stories and sermons. Writers from Lewis Carroll to W.H. Auden cite MacDonald as a major influence, while C.S. Lewis has said his books were pivotal in leading him toward Christianity. In A time to Grow, MacDonald scholar and biographer Michael Phillips combs through the author’s many works to provides a selection of brief daily readings.
Culled from MacDonald’s beloved stories and novels, such as Robert Falconer, At the Back of the North Wind, Sir Gibbie, and many others, each selection imparts a thought-provoking Christian message and is accompanied by a relevant Bible verse.
