George MacDonald: The Child in the Mist

“I dare not say that he (MacDonald) is never in error; but… I know hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more continually close, to the Spirit of Christ Himself… 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.” C.S. LewisThe Message of the Unspoken Sermons: Do you struggle with identity issues? Do you feel alone in the winds of adversity? These issues and questions are all too common in our world of rampant individualism, competition, toxic identity politics, and crushing loneliness. George MacDonald speaks directly and prophetically through his writings into the fractured culture of our day. "At the heart of all human difficulties and misery is a lie, a refusal to see God as our common Father. The removal of this mist (the lie of separation) removes the very foundation of all Life's difficulties!" Was your birth unplanned? Were you conceived under less than ideal circumstances, or born into a good family but live with little sense of love and acceptance? MacDonald addressed these at their root. Scripture tells us that our individual origin is rooted before creation in the loving heart of our Heavenly Father. "Those . . . who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of a man, but of God." (John 1:13 NASB)This identity is the truth about you and me—all of us have been created in the "image and likeness" of God. Discover in this book the foundation of your identity as sons and daughters within the eternal Fatherhood of God! Read more
