Lovers of fantasy, literary apologetics, and Christian thought will appreciate A Dish of Orts, MacDonald's work on using the imagination to lift and enliven the mind.George MacDonald, considered the pioneer of the fantasy genre, had an impact on the mind and imaginations of some of the most influential Christian writers of the 20th century. C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, and J.R.R. Tolkien all were greatly impacted by both MacDonald's imaginative fiction as well as his sermons and social commentary.At the hub of the English Victorian literary circles, MacDonald was friends with many of the literary luminaries of his day such as Poet Laureate Alfred Tennyson, William Thackeray, John Ruskin, as well as many others.. Lovers of Alice in Wonderland have George MacDonald to thank for its publication after Lewis Carroll (the pen name for C.L. Dodgson) was encouraged to publish the story after its enthusiastic reception by MacDonald's children.MacDonald was so widely regarded, that upon his passing, G.K. Chesteron said of him, "George MacDonald was one of the three or four greatest men of the nineteenth century."This great man is gone, but his works remain. A Dish of Orts is a collection of essays by George MacDonald on topics ranging from imagination to Shakespeare, from poetry to living the true Christian life. This new annotated edition bridges the gap for 21st century readers to MacDonald's 19th century world.

In "The Hope of the Gospel," George MacDonald presents a profound exploration of the Christian faith, emphasizing themes of grace, redemption, and the transformative power of divine love. This work is characterized by MacDonald's lyrical prose and rich allegorical depth, which invite readers into a reflective journey through theological insights. Emerging during the Victorian era, a time marked by both spiritual questioning and the rise of modernist perspectives, MacDonald's writing serves as a counterbalance, reaffirming the relevance of traditional Christian doctrine amidst contemporary doubts. His rhetorical style merges philosophy with pastoral care, encouraging a deeper understanding of hope as a fundamental element of the Gospel message. George MacDonald, a pivotal figure in the literary history of Christian thought, was not only an author but also a minister and a mentor to many literary giants, including C.S. Lewis. His own life experiences--including his struggle with societal norms and deep engagement with theological debates--shaped his belief that the Gospel offers a radical hope that transcends the limitations of human understanding and societal expectations. MacDonald's writings are steeped in both personal faith and intellectual rigor, reflecting his dedication to spiritual truth. For readers seeking a rich, restorative narrative that encourages deep reflection on Christian faith, "The Hope of the Gospel" is an essential work. It invites believers and seekers alike to embrace the transformative hope offered through the Gospel, illuminating a path toward spiritual fulfillment. This book stands as a timeless resource for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of Christian hope and its implications for everyday life.
