From the visionary mind of one of Victorian literature's most spiritually luminous figures comes A Book of Strife in the Form of The Diary of an Old Soul, a devotional masterpiece that charts the intimate, turbulent, and ultimately transcendent journey of a soul wrestling with faith, doubt, and divine love. Written in the form of a poetic diary — one stanza for each day of the year — George MacDonald's deeply personal verse presents a continuous conversation between a searching human spirit and an ever-present God, rendered in language of rare tenderness and lyrical beauty. MacDonald, widely celebrated as a pioneer of fantasy literature and a profound theological thinker — whose work profoundly influenced C.S. Lewis — brings to this collection the same imaginative depth and spiritual honesty that defined his fiction. The Diary of an Old Soul stands as one of the 19th century's most compelling works of devotional poetry, arguing through its careful, stanza-by-stanza architecture that faith is not a destination but a daily, hard-won discipline. This Entirely New Edition, With a Photogravure Portrait, published by Arthur C. Fifield of Fleet Street, London, is a testament to the enduring resonance of MacDonald's voice — one that continues to ask the reader: what does it truly mean to surrender oneself to the unknown?
