Review Quotes
"I have never concealed the fact that I regarded him (MacDonald) as my master; indeed, I fancy I have never written a book in which I did not quote from him."
- C.S. Lewis
"George MacDonald writes as a human being who hungers and thirsts for God. The love of God is not a luxury but a primal need. These exquisite poems are an ideal companion for those seeking to come more fully alive to the ache, ecstasy, and urgency of this most basic of longings."
- Han-luen Kantzer Komline, Professor of Church History and Theology at Western Theological Seminary
"Many poems provided me with a sense of encouragement-I'm not the only one to feel that way. Others were an inspiration-I want to feel that way/want those things. All directed the reader back toward the face and arms of God as the center of everything, especially spirituality."
