Unspoken Sermons Series I, II, and III: Complete and Unabridged, with an Extensive Introduction

The Definitive Edition of a Christian Masterpiece, with Extensive Annotations and FootnotesOrthodox theologian Brad Jersak and Trinitarian scholar Dr. C. Baxter Kruger provide invaluable insights into Unspoken Sermons in this unique edition of George MacDonald's epic three-volume work. In addition to seventeen pages of original introductory material, editor Jess Lederman has provided footnotes citing the sources of quotes from Milton, Shakespeare, and others which MacDonald incorporated into his text. "There will never be enough editions of Unspoken Sermons, one of the ongoing most impactful books in my life. This edition keeps the same order and content originally written by George MacDonald, while adding a foreword by Bradley Jersak and introduction by Baxter Kruger. The Victorian English will slow you down and that is exactly what needs to happen. The best of meals is not known for the speed of its consumption but for the profound depths of its giftings."—Paul Young, author of The ShackGeorge MacDonald: Christian Visionary, Master of C.S. LewisGeorge MacDonald, Scottish poet, novelist, and minister, was a mentor to Lewis Carroll, friend of Mark Twain, and inspiration to countless Christians including C. S. Lewis, celebrated author of Mere Christianity, who referred to MacDonald as his "master" and said of his Unspoken Sermons that it had given readers "indispensable help toward the very acceptance of the Christian faith.” Madeleine L'Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time, wrote that “George MacDonald gives me renewed strength during times of trouble—times when I have seen people tempted to deny God.”Whether or not George MacDonald preached verbatim the homilies included in Unspoken Sermons, I am certain that their substance has been audibly declared--whether in church, living room, or local pub--by the tens of thousands of readers whose hearts and minds have been transformed by them. To read these sermons is to speak them--such is their evangelical power and liberating wisdom.—Fr. Alvin F. Kimel, author of Destined for Joy: The Gospel of Universal SalvationThe writings of George MacDonald have inspired Christians for over 150 years and profoundly influenced my own discipleship since I began reading him over fifty years ago. I highly recommend this new edition, which combines three volumes of sermons and features an easy-to-read typeface.—Robert Trexler, Editor, The Bulletin of the New York C.S. Lewis Society Read more
