Gentlewoman's Choice - Thryft

Godly service and benevolence in Victorian London.

Gentlewoman's Choice is a good read for users seeking a novel that combines grand, vivid storytelling with deep spiritual understanding. Set in Victorian London, the story explores themes of obedience to the gospel versus conforming to social norms, and the many complex moral decisions that result from such decisions. Fans of authors like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien will appreciate MacDonald's masterful blending of mystical elements with relatable characters and situations.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

For your inspiration and reading pleasure, another George MacDonald classic retold for today's reader by Michael R. Phillips. Perhaps more than any other MacDonald novel, this story manifests one of the strongest driving forces in his spiritual vision: the theme of godly service to the poor. The narrative centers around Hester Raymount, a twenty-three-year-old Londoner whose loving heart continually reaches out to God and to the poor in her neighborhood. Her benevolence is not without its price, however; growing up in an environment of strict social mores where faith in God was often more cultural than spiritual, Hester's choices concerned obedience to the gospel or conforming to the culture of her day. Scotland's master storyteller gives another vivid portrayal of the mercy and compassion of God as seen in the lives of those who truly know Him. Purity, corruption, innocence, deception, deep suffering, compassion all elements combining to make MacDonald's characters from another era come alive today!
