If George MacDonald Doesn't have Grace, No one Has, October 19, 2000
This review is from: Wind from the Stars (Hardcover)
Gordon Reid's collection of 366 excerpts from the works of George MacDonald is a way to touch one's spirituality every day. MacDonald, a theologian and writer of deep and soulful faith, saw God everywhere and in everyone. Like Madeleine L'Engle his faith glows through each word he writes. It is as much a part of him as the hand that pushes the pen. C. S. Lewis said of MacDonald "I regard him as my master . . . I know hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or continually close to the Spirit of Christ himself." And, after all, C.S. Lewis was no slouch in the area of theology, faith, and writing, himself! This book is a good thinking person's way to take a few moments each day and focus on what's important in life -- shutting out the noise of family life or traffic or work -- to embrace one's inner life, which is what ultimately sustains us and helps us grow and find peace and happiness.
