To George MacDonald, all of life's truth could be discovered in an extremely simple two step process: realizing who God is, then obeying Him. He offers a path of discovery to knowing the Father intimately, a path whose only door is obedience. Challenging his readers with the idea that true "knowledge" of God is far more than mental assent to gospel truth, he brings the reader to the feet of a wondrously loving Father who wants to be known in the heart.

A powerful Christian classic that challenges readers to make their faith more than an intellectual assent to the gospel truth.

George MacDonald (1824-1905), Scottish poet, preacher, and novelist was one of the most original and influential writers of Victorian Britain. He wrote over 50 books with millions of copies sold, and he was one of the most popular authors of the day on both sides of the Atlantic.

Drawn to the pulpit early, MacDonald eventually left to pursue his writing. Numbered among Dickens, Trollope, and other giants of the age as a novelist, MacDonald ended his career with over fifty books ranging from fantastical literature, to children’s stories, to critical essays, and numerous novels. In addition to writing, MacDonald lectured extensively.

MacDonald’s fiction combined the man’s immense spiritual understanding with his innate storytelling ability. His works have influenced writers like C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and many others.

George MacDonald had tremendous insight into God's nature. This book is excerpts from his other writings that will renew your love for God, change your life, and deliver you from traditional and dead ways of thinking. Know in advance that MacDonald did not believe in an eternal hell; however, if you miss out on being awed and moved to holiness by the love of God because of a problem with his doctrine, you're making a bad mistake.
