Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Falconer, Vol. 1 of 3 Obert falconer, schoolboy, aged four teen, thought he had never seen his father; that is, thought he had no recollection of having ever seen him. But the moment when my story begins, he had begun to doubt whether his belief in the matter was correct. And, as he went on thinking, he became more and more assured that he had seen his father somewhere about six years before, as near as a thoughtful boy of his age could judge of the lapse of a period that would form half of that portion Of his existence which was bound into one by the reticulations of me mory. For there dawned upon his mind the vision Of one Sunday afternoon. Betty had gone to vol. I. B. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

All that was necessary for conviction on the point was to have seen him before and to see him now. The very grasp of his hand was changed. But not yet would Robert leave him alone. It will naturally occur to my reader that his goodness was not much yet. It was not. It may have been greater than we could be sure of, though. But if any one object that such a conversion, even if it were perfected, was poor, inasmuch as the man's free will was intromitted with, I answer: "The development of the free will was the one object. Hitherto it was not free." I ask the man who says so: "Where would your free will have been if at some period of your life you could have had everything you wanted?" If he says it is nobler in a man to do with less help, I answer, "Andrew was not noble: was he therefore to be forsaken? The prodigal was not left without the help of the swine and their husks, at once to keep him alive and disgust him with the life. Is the less help a man has from God the better V According to you, the grandest thing of all would be for a man sunk in the absolute abysses of sensuality all at once to resolve to be pure as the empyrean, and be so, without help from God or man. But is the thing possible? As well might a hyena say: I will be a man, and become one. That would be to create. Andrew must be kept from the evil long enough to let him at least see the good, before he was let alone. But when would we be let alone 1 For a man to be fit to be let alone, is for a man not to need God, but to be able to live without him. Our hearts cry out, "To have God is to live. We want God. Without him no life...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fortunes of the Falconars, Vol. 1 of 3 Could any one of the joyous actors in that scene of festivity have at that moment lifted up the curtain which shrouds futurity from our mortal ken, and beheld through the vista of one and twenty years, the transactions of another and a coming evening, about the same season of the year, with what a shock of awful conviction that all is vanity, would the dark contrast have struck upon his heart! And yet, he would have seen no more than the common event which must come to all; the contrast would have been no greater than that which most periods, long sepa rated by time, present to each other, when viewed by the mind in close juxtaposition, without re ference to the intervening events - the minute and imperceptible degrees of shading by which joy and sorrow, hope and disappointment, life and death, have been gradually woven into the chain of existence. It is this shading - this slow unfolding of the chain - which causes us to feel so little wonder, whilst we meditate on its strangely differing links. Leave some of the connecting ones out of sight, and look here upon this picture, and on this, of past periods, and the contrast is indeed wonderful - frequently awful. So it would have been to those who, perceiving nothing of what connected the two events, could have cast their eyes onward from the day of Douglas Falconar's wedding, to that of his funeral. On that day, then, in the end of the same month, September, 1822, a setting sun was sink ing, as bright and calm as when it lighted these happy young hearts on the road to their future home. A more enduring home had opened to receive the bridegroom of that former evening; and the sod of his ancient family burial-place had, ere the last rays fell upon the trees which bent above it, been laid down upon his breast. The funeral train had long been dispersed - the widow and her daughters were weeping alone and the eldest son of Douglas Falconar, a youth of twenty, remained the solitary tenant of the old library, where, an hour previously, he had been compelled, by the painful necessity of such times, to listen to the reading of his father's will.

Download or read book Robert Falconer written by George MacDonald and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a boy’s spiritual transformation in the shadow of the Scottish Highlands—from the 19th-century author of David Elginbrod. In George MacDonald’s most well-known novel, published in 1868, the quest of young Robert Falconer for his father becomes a parallel quest to break free from the oppressive Calvinist theology of his grandmother. As he struggles to come to terms with the strict orthodoxy prevalent in Scotland for two centuries, the doctrine of hell looms as the great stumbling block in Robert’s mind. His lifelong search reveals to Robert the groundbreaking truth that hell is remedial not punitive, designed to produce ultimate repentance not everlasting punishment. This highly autobiographical work offers a rare glimpse into MacDonald’s own youthful quandaries, and a window into the development of his faith, which would turn generations toward the Fatherhood of a loving God. After the book’s publication, as a result of the bold themes running through the narrative, MacDonald came to be considered a “universalist” and “heretic” in some circles—grievous mischaracterizations that persist to this day. This new edition by MacDonald biographer Michael Phillips streamlines the occasionally ponderous Victorian narrative style and updates the thick Doric brogue into readable English.

Download or read book Spectacular Atonement written by Robert Falconer and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many books about the cross of Christ, but few are written from an African perspective or with an African context in mind. In this book, Dr. Robert Falconer offers the reader a holistic understanding of Jesus’s atoning work that powerfully addresses African realities and concerns. Grounded in Scripture and Christian theology, this book gives careful attention to the implications of the atonement for African traditional spirituality. Presenting a biblical perspective of the cross – one rooted in penal substitution and Christus Victor theology – Falconer demonstrates Christ’s power in all aspects of our lives, including over ancestors, evil spirits, witchcraft, and sin. This book provides a deeper understanding of contextual issues facing the African church, while also demonstrating the role of the atonement in addressing our cultural concerns and restoring the hope of liberty, reconciliation, redemption, and resurrection.
