 Rich Meditations June 14, 2008
I would have to say that C.S.Lewis's remark--that he has never read anyone who is more continually close to the Spirit--fits the author quite well. MacDonald eloquently combines intellectual thought and creativity with the innocence of prayer, showing that both are able to be used together in the pursuit to intimacy with God.
This book has been a great help in my meditations. I would recommend it to anyone who desires to have a greater connectedness with the Spirit. The only downfall is the 200 year span in English terminology. If one can get past the "doths" and "thees" then this book will be sure to be a favorite in your collection.

George MacDonald is brilliant.
But I think there might be a typo or two in this publication of his work.

Imagine Psalms minus the drama and soul-searching quandries. But in rhyming verse. I'm not saying the book is bad. It may be that my soul just isn't old enough to see the value here. Each entry is very short. If you're the sort of person who can comtemplate a single line of poetry, you may get a lot out of this. If you're not, you can flip through this book in a single afternoon (but you probably won't). Maybe I'll appreciate this work later in life. Maybe not.
I really like his book of "Unspoken Sermons", though.

Seemingly endless thoughts of God drift through the mind of this brilliant man of faith. An awesome tool as a daily devotional, but good luck...once opened, it's easy to devour Macdonald's writings all at once. His Sonnet's spring to life and speak directly to the heart. Not in a wishy washy, overly heady, sort of way but in simply truths pointed to the core of Christian life.
 Aweful - Horrible Edition January 17, 2007
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
Origionally, I was given this book in 1979; it is profound and awe inspiring in the faith provoking poetry that George Macdonald wrote - one 7 line poem/meditation for each day of the year.
I boughtt this new book as a gift. However this edition is horrible in that it appears to have been pasted together, daily poems may be numbered at the bottom of one page and begin on the next. Or the day's poem may be split between one page and the next. Several were mostly gibberish. Also there is no introduction, library of congress number or date of publication (or origional publication)to this edition.
It is a mess !
