About this listen
MacDonald stressed the necessity of salvation and the importance of combining Christian faith with obedience to Jesus' teachings. He also believed that God's universal grace would eventually save everyone. Though written in the mid-19th century, these sermons, including "Mirrors of Christ", "Glorified through Trouble", "Salvation from Sin", and "The Giver of Rest", continue to provide contemporary followers with the spiritual guidance they seek.
For those who wish to know Jesus better, this is a book you will want to hear.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

Story
George MacDonald, described by W.H. Auden as "one of the most remarkable writers of the 19th century", was valued in his own time as an original thinker and spiritual guide. Of all his writing, it is the fairy tales that have retained their fascination, and this collection includes all 11 stories. The fairy tales feature the stock characters of traditional tales—fairies both good and bad, and children undertaking precarious journeys. Often adopting paradox and nonsense as Lewis Carroll did, the stories invite adults to deploy the same open-mindedness as children.

The classic fantasy that influenced C. S. Lewis and Tolkien, considered one of George MacDonald's most important works, is the story of the young man, Anodos, and his adventures in fairyland which ultimately reveal the human condition. "I write, not for children," wrote George MacDonald, "but for the child-like, whether they be of five, or 50, or 75." All-at-once written with an innocent whimsy and soulful yearning, the heart of Anodos' journey through fairyland reveals a spiritual quest that requires a surrender of the self.

Lewis wrote a great number of essays and shorter pieces on various subjects. He wrote extensively on Christian theology and the defense of faith but also on ethical issues and the nature of literature and storytelling. Within these pages is a treasure trove of Lewis' reflections on diverse topics.

Story
Why do we read literature and how do we judge it? C. S. Lewis' classic An Experiment in Criticism springs from the conviction that literature exists for the joy of the reader and that books should be judged by the kind of reading they invite. He argues that "good reading", like moral action or religious experience, involves surrender to the work in hand and a process of entering fully into the opinions of others: "in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself."

none more profound
Profound thoughts from a true spiritual master. MacDonald is solely responsible for my Christianity. Lloyd James' narration is excellent.

Doctrine:
Some of it was questionable, but those last two chapters were absolute gold! A must read for those alone!

A must listen for people from all persuasions
First of all, this narration of Mcdonald's sermons is fantastic. McD'd works are hard to read because of his sentence structures but this audible delivery makes it very simple to follow .
My spirit resonates with the spirit of George McDonald. I've heard lots of teaching and sermons over the last 40 years and few people seem to be on the same page with McDonald. Reading about his life story. it seems like he did not do well in organized religions. it seems that he had a real sensitivity to staying in obedience to the teachings, manhood, and Sonship of the Lord Jesus. He saw the Christian walk as being a very personal relationship with brother Jesus and our heavenly Father. Our loving heavenly Father cares too much for us to let us wander off into harmful and foolish habits. He uses his refining fire to purify us from such stupidity. Our purpose here on Earth is to become like him by following the example of the life of Jesus. We honor God by aiming to behave like his original intent before the fall. And by asking for the holy Spirit's help, we can begin to experience this reality, though imperfectly.
These are the things I have pulled from listening to McDonals sermons dozens of times over.

Why do we call him
...but don't do what he says?
I got this audio book with some reservation, fearing that it would be more of the conservative, yet insubstantial, rhetoric that fills Christian book stores. Not so. George Macdonald's message is simple, "Hear Jesus. Do what he says." And yet he says it convincingly and persuasively. This book should appeal to conservative and liberal Christians alike, because it doesn't spend time being dogmatic or undercutting dogma. Macdonald points us straight to Jesus.
The narrator is also excellent. You can tell he really spent time with these sermons, getting to know their inner workings. His reading brings out the emotion behind every word as if they were his own, without going overboard on drama.

Immensely practical and superbly written.
This was my first exposure to George MacDonald and it certainly won't be my last. Many theology books can be a drag, not because they are poor in content (though some certainly are), but rather because it is difficult to write on theology and philosophy in a manner that is gripping. MacDonald accomplishes both here, and every page was as savory as the last.

Exceptional!
Best book of sermons I've encountered by anyone not named in the BIble. I anxiously await the audio version of his 2nd and 3rd book of sermons.

Good sermons
Overall I felt the sermons were good. I gained a few insights. I felt the last sermon was one of the best. I would have wished for more emphasis on God's grace. There's much talk about obedience. I believe obedience is good, but it comes from a transformed heart. A heart that wants to obey out of love. I wished there was more talk about how we are transformed by grace.

Wonderful description of Jesus and His truths.
These sermons teach how to know and obey Jesus. They reveal the ways of mankind how we fool ourself into to thinking small of God and large of ourselves. They show the terror and beauty of God's plan in sending His Son to make payment for the guilt of the worlds sins so He can bring us into union with Himself for eternity.
