| One of the most prolific and celebrated Scottish fantasy writers and novelists of the Victorian era -- George MacDonald (1824 - 1905) was an internationally renowned speaker and author of faerie stories for adults and children. He counted Mark Twain, Lewis Caroll, Ralph Waldo Emerson and John Greenleaf Whittier among his friends and admirers. Among his writings are Phantastes, At the Back of the North Wind, Sir Gibbie, The Princess and the Goblin, Lilith, and The Light Princess. He has been a major influence on writers of the 20th century, including G. K. Chesterton, W. H. Auden, Madeleine L'Engle and more. He directly influenced C. S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, which includes The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, and J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. In THE MIRACLES OF OUR LORD, a compelling companion to THE HOPE OF THE GOSPELS, George MacDonald writes in the most moving, convincing way about the necessity of the New Testament miracles. For MacDonald, "Fact is not the sole legitimate object of human inquiry. If it were, farewell to all that elevates and glorifies human nature--farewell to God, to religion, to hope! It is that which lies at the root of fact, yea, at the root of law, after which the human soul hungers and longs." In MacDonald's world, God's Love is no empty platitude. God becomes Flesh and dwells among us, tender and severe. He is Love nailed to the Cross. As MacDonald said, "Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best; God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it." After reading this book, be prepared to believe in miracles all over again.... (This edition also includes Robert Browning's celebrated poem, AN EPISTLE CONTAINING THE STRANGE MEDICAL EXPERIENCE OF KARSHISH, THE ARAB PHYSICIAN.)
