"God's will is full of love, and if we were His children we would find in Him all our hope and all our peace." George MacDonald, recorded sermon, 1890. "One wonders not that George MacDonald should ever have been regarded by a certain narrow circle as a heretic, but that these broader aspects of his teaching and his bright and pure faith did not immediately command universal approval. Today, however, he has his vindication." Adam Mackay, 1924 "His great service to his generation is not in his delineation of men and women--in that he has had many superiors--but rather in his grand witness for the absolute perfection of God." W. Garrett Horder, 1892 "With MacDonald the religious novel has reached a high standard of excellence. Perhaps he has used it more successfully than any other writer." Alec Paterson, 1898
