The Hope of the Gospel CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2015 M08 22 - 166 páginas From the man who profoundly influenced G. K. Chesterton , C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Madeleine L'Engle comes a book of sermons focused upon Christ and the power of salvation. Each one of these twelve sermons encapsulates a unique separate spiritual message--messages that can speak to the heart and mind of any believer. George MacDonald engages each topic with wisdom and insight, pointing ultimately to the hope, power, and love of the gospel. In The Hope of the Gospel, with his ever sagely style, MacDonald explores the essential heart of the gospel that is so often overlooked, both in his day and ours. Dissatisfied with cheap and hasty interpretations of Scripture, MacDonald invites us beneath the surface in a heartfelt meditation on all that Christ came to accomplish. .". I know hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more continually close, to the Spirit of Christ Himself. Hence his Christ-like union of tenderness and severity. Nowhere else outside the New Testament have I found terror and comfort so intertwined. "I have never concealed the fact that I regarded him as my master; indeed I fancy I never written a book in which I did not quote from him. But it has not seemed to me that those who have received my books kindly take even now sufficient notice of the affiliation. Honesty drives me to emphasize it." -- C.S. Lewis "Macdonald removes from our thinking every vestige of the image of God as a tyrant who is pleased with nothing less than the humanly impossible, and then who condemns man for not achieving it." --Rolland Hein CONTENTS SALVATION FROM SIN.
