The White Stone: Selections from George MacDonald - Paperback

by Ellyn Sanna (Compiled by), George MacDonald (With)

"Each of us is growing toward the revelation of our true selves," wrote George MacDonald, "the white stone given to each person by God, on which the true name is written."

MacDonald, a nineteenth-century minister, was considered a heretic in his day, because he believed absolutely in a God of love who works eternally to make us whole. His theology of love, hope, and affirmation runs through all his writing-and Anamchara has pulled out some of the best selections and arranged them thematically. Each page-long thought is intended to be read slowly, one at a time. This is the sort of book that's meant to be picked up for five minutes and put down again, while a kernel of insight takes root in your mind throughout the day.

​​​​​​​"Every moment that we are true to our true selves," wrote MacDonald, "some new shine of the white stone breaks on our inward eyes."
