Lewis of George MacDonald) " "it is a striking indication of the trend and shallowness of the modern reading public that George MacDonald's books have been so neglected". -- Oswald Chambers In his C.S Lewis's introduction to George MacDonald: An Anthology, he speaks highly of MacDonald's theology: "This collection, as I have said, was designed not to revive MacDonald's literary reputation but to spread his religious teaching. Hence most of my extracts are taken from the three volumes of Unspoken Sermons.

Book excerpt: George MacDonald (10 December 1824 - 18 September 1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. Known particularly for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy novels, George MacDonald inspired many authors. It was C.S. Lewis who wrote that he regarded MacDonald as his "master".Even Mark Twain, who initially disliked MacDonald, became friends with him, and there is some evidence that Twain was influenced by MacDonald.MacDonald wrote "Unspoken Sermons" as a series, with the first series being published in 1867. The second came along almost twenty years later in 1885, followed by the third of the series in 1889.C. S. Lewis was so moved by "Unspoken Sermons" that he wrote the following: "My own debt to this book is almost as great as one man can owe to another: and nearly all serious inquirers to whom I have introduced it acknowledge that it has given them great help-sometimes indispensable help toward the very acceptance of the Christian faith. I know hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more continually close, to the Spirit of Christ Himself. Hence his Christ-like union of tenderness and severity. Nowhere else outside the New Testament have I found terror and comfort so intertwined. I have never concealed the fact that I regarded him as my master; indeed I fancy I have never written a book in which I did not quote from him. But it has not seemed to me that those who have received my books kindly take even now sufficient notice of the affiliation. Honesty drives me to emphasize it."The following review, written by a gentleman with a degree in theology, is typical of others who have read this book:"I have read hundreds of books dealing with every aspect of Christianity, religion, theology and philosophy. I also have a degree in theology. In my opinion this book has had more impact on my life then the sum of the others I have read combined!"This Edition includes all three series in one volume.

Book excerpt: In this collection of three volumes, Dr. MacDonald, writing in a simple, graphic, interesting way, deals with various modern phases of religious belief. At a time when there is so much inquiry and unrest among thinking people, the frank discussions and strong arguments of this book will be especially pertinent and helpful. "In George MacDonald's company the very air seems impregnated with love, purity, and tenderness. We seem to be under an Italian sky, and the harshness, whether of individual or national temperament, is wonderfully checked. A loving heart reveals to us the heart which is the fountain of love, and sends us away ashamed of our harsh and bitter feelings, and praying to be able to love more both Him who is love and those who ought never to be dear to us for his sake."" -Dr. Guthrie's Sunday Magazine "It abounds in passages of spiritual and moral analysis...Here Mr. MacDonald is alone and unapproached by any living and, so far as we know, by any dead writer." -Illustrated Times "It these days of overstrained intellectual activity, when at the same time an imperative need is felt for human and intimate readings of Scripture mysteries, his manner of teaching is most effective....It is not only exhilarating to come in contact with such fresh views of Scripture as we here receive from Mr. MacDonald, - it is blissful." -Nonconformist "How unlike the conventional sermon was his discourse! He told his hearers of what he knew. It was no piece of brocaded oratory, no set theological essay, it was a simple yet most profound message from a human soul to his brother souls. Here was one, you felt, who had been on the Mount of Vision and who had seen and heard things beyond mortal ken. You forgot mere logic, you were rapt into an 'ampler ether, a sublimer air' than you were wont to breathe every day. The so-called 'Unspoken Sermons' cannot impart the striking personality of the preacher, but they will convey to those who never heard him somewhat of his searching spiritual power....It is a happy thing for us that so noble a teacher and so happy and inspired an artist has both caught up before they died out vanishing aspects of Scottish life and in so doing has wrought out noble lessons and morals for us all." -The Spectator "True and beautiful thought, musically and eloquently expressed." -Pall Mall Gazette "The union of the practical and the mystical elements in Dr. MacDonald's mind makes him a rare preacher of religion, his exhortations to righteousness being based upon the deepest foundation of a spiritual faith." -The Literary World "The 'Unspoken Sermons' of George MacDonald are a rare luxury. Among the common fruits of the Garden of God they are apples of gold....They smite the eye with their beauty, they give the conception of an almost ideal purity of motive and purpose, and of a mind 'living already the next door to heaven." -British Quarterly Review CONTENTS UNSPOKEN SERMONS SERIES ONE THE CHILD IN THE MIDST THE CONSUMING FIRE THE HIGHER FAITH IT SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN THE NEW NAME THE HEART WITH THE TREASURE THE TEMPTATION IN THE WILDERNESS THE ELOI THE HANDS OF THE FATHER LOVE THY NEIGHBOR LOVE THINE ENEMY THE GOD OF THE LIVING UNSPOKEN SERMONS SERIES TWO THE WAY THE HARDNESS OF THE WAY THE CAUSE OF SPIRITUAL STUPIDITY THE WORD OF JESUS ON PRAYER MAN'S DIFFICULTY CONCERNING PRAYER THE LAST FARTHING ABBA, FATHER!

Book excerpt: "Unspoken Sermons" by George MacDonald is a Christian classic spoken of highly by C.S. Lewis. In "Unspoken Sermons," "to understand the words of our Lord is the business of life. For it is the main road to the understanding of The Word himself. And to receive him is to receive the Father, and so to have Life in ourselves. And Life, the higher, the deeper, the simpler, the original, is the business of life." In his introduction to George MacDonald: An Anthology, C. S. Lewis wrote of MacDonald's theology: "This collection, as I have said, was designed not to revive MacDonald's literary reputation but to spread his religious teaching. Hence most of my extracts are taken from the three volumes of "Unspoken Sermons."

And he came to Capernaum: and, being in the house, he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves who should be the greatest. And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.--MARK ix. 33-37.
