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

Unlike many of George MacDonald's works, A Book of Strife is a book of daily poetry following his spiritual journey over the course of a year. Each poem is either about God, to God, or describes MacDonald's spiritual pain or exhilaration. The versatility of this book is limitless: It can be read through in a sitting, or be digested throughout the entire year. For some, it will make an excellent accompaniment to a daily devotional. No matter how it is utilized, George MacDonald's A Book of Strife is a powerful Christian classic that is sure to touch the hearts and minds of those that read it.
