The first installment of an incredible novel by George Macdonald, this volume introduces the main character of this three part journey, Thomas Wingfold. His dutiful demeanor and routine religious position are reflected in his faith, which has become stagnant and rote. Throughout Volume 1, Thomas begins to wrestle with certain aspects of his beliefs and encounters several individuals with unique perspectives that eventually spark sincere reflection in this quiet figure.

Yes, this is a great book, the first of a trilogy. The sequels are also well worth the read. But, be aware that this is not the complete book. They are only giving you one third of the book. This was done by ONE Audiobooks, not Audible. You'll have to buy two more to hear the complete book. Shame on you ONE Audiobooks.

In June 1867, Mark Twain set out for Europe and the Holy Land on the paddle steamer Quaker City. His enduring, no-nonsense guide for the first-time traveler also served as an antidote to the insufferably romantic travel books of the period.

Not Twain's best travel book.

Twain's writing, as usual, is engaging. His best writing occurs when he is telling stories. Unfortunately, in this book, he spends too much of his time talking about places and things, providing little color to bring the locations to life. He does a much better job of this in 'The Alhambra.' I would pick up a copy of it first.
