A Book of Strife in the Form of the Diary of an Old Soul (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169245013)

A Book of Strife in the Form of the Diary of an Old Soul is a collection of 366 daily devotional poems written by Scottish author George MacDonald. The book is structured as a diary, with each entry representing a day of the year. The poems explore themes of faith, doubt, love, and the human experience. MacDonald's writing style is lyrical and introspective, and his poems often contain references to biblical scripture and Christian theology. The book was first published in 1880 and has since become a beloved classic in Christian literature. It is widely considered to be one of MacDonald's most personal and spiritual works.When I am very weary with hard thought, And yet the question burns and is not quenched, My heart grows cool when to remembrance wrought That thou who know'st the light-born answer sought Know'st too the dark where the doubt lies entrenched-- Know'st with what seemings I am sore perplexed, And that with thee I wait, nor needs my soul be vexed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
