George MacDonald 
Book of Strife in the Form of the Diary of an Old Soul 

Renowned Scottish fiction writer, poet, and minister George Mac Donald gained literary acclaim for his creative reinvention of age-old fairy tales. Among the many writers who cited Mac Donald as a key influence were G.K. Chesterson, W.H. Auden, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Madeleine L’Engle. In this volume of verse, Mac Donald offers a poem for every day of the year; each is intended to prompt introspection and prayerful contemplation.
