It is not enough for the Christ-follower to hold a set of beliefs about Jesus, to cling tightly to doctrine, or interpretation, or knowledge. The transformative power of the Gospel is accessed through faith in Jesus, through union with God, and through a real experience of His love and nearness.
George MacDonald's Unspoken Sermons are a series of written (but never publicly preached) sermons that guide the reader into a deeper relationship with God through profound encounters with Jesus Christ.
George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a 19th century Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister, most famous for his published allegorical fairy tales and novels. MacDonald was read and admired by many well-known theologians, including G.K. Chesterton, Oswald Chambers, and C.S. Lewis, who pointed to MacDonald as an inspirer and guide for their own faith and writings. Lewis said of MacDonald, "I know hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more continually close, to the Spirit of Christ Himself."

George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish minister, theologian, poet and author of multiple bestselling works of both fiction and non-fiction. He is best remembered for his fantasy works – both for children and adults – although his theological writings are of great and lasting significance. He is acknowledged as a profound influence by some of the greatest writers of the twentieth century: C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, J.M. Barrie, J.R.R. Tolkien and Madeleine L'Engle, just to name a few. And while the course of his life meandered between worldwide renown and abject poverty, his was a faith in Jesus Christ that remained steadfast and true. His life was a testament to the veracity of his great writings.
