A Book of Strife in the Form of the Diary of an Old Soul by George MacDonald was first published in 1909 in the United States. It was crafted in an era long gone by, before the present age of technology and instantaneous communication. During this time, the art of storytelling was held in high regard, and writers took great care to produce works that were not only entertaining, but also thought-provoking and enduring. This novel possesses a sophistication that is often lacking in contemporary literature, with complex characters, elegant language, and subtle social commentary. In a world that often values quick gratification over deeper reflection, this novel serves as a reminder of the enduring value of literature that inspires contemplation and reflection.

This novel is classic poetry at its finest. Add this title to your TBR list!

Sneak Peek
“When I no more can stir my soul to move, And life is but the ashes of a fire; When I can but remember that my heart Once used to live and love, long and aspire,— Oh, be thou then the first, the one thou art; Be thou the calling, before all answering love, And in me wake hope, fear, boundless desire.”

Synopsis
“A Book of Strife in the Form of the Diary of an Old Soul” is a poetic collection written by Scottish author George MacDonald. The book takes the form of a diary, chronicling the inner thoughts, struggles, and spiritual journey of an old soul. Each entry in the diary presents a profound and introspective reflection on various aspects of human existence. MacDonald explores themes such as love, faith, doubt, pain, and the search for meaning in life. Through his poetic language and vivid imagery, he delves into the complexities of the human experience, offering readers a glimpse into the depths of the soul. As the diary progresses, the old soul grapples with the contradictions and challenges of life, wrestling with the darkness within and seeking solace in faith.
