George MacDonald's poetical autobiography chronicles his spiritual journey as he found God over the course of one year.
A classic of piety, A Book of Strife is written in diary format: each day of the year receives its own unique verse. Each of these imparts contemplation or revelations on subjects poignant or relevant to Christians. For instance; MacDonald discusses the various saints of Christianity; passages or events in the Biblical canon and Gospels; the character and teachings of Jesus Christ; and the natural world around us.
Although the style is firmly dated to the Victorian era, MacDonald's moving and sincere account of finding faith remain a devotional classic of Christian literature. This book was published with the intent of both giving readers a daily verse to read and reflect upon, and as a poetic autobiography to be read and progressed much as with any other book. Whichever way the reader approaches the text, they can be certain of gaining insight into one man of faith's journey toward harmony with God.
By the time he published this work, MacDonald had become a prominent author, preacher and minister based in his home country of Scotland. His reflections and meditations upon a lifetime of spiritual pursuits were popular with Christians in both Europe and the United States. Together with spiritual works, he also published fantasy fiction which would prove influential to later authors such as J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis.
This edition of A Book of Strife in large print, allowing readers to easily absorb and comprehend the wisdom imparted by MacDonald.
