1) Paperback Book Curate of Glaston, The by Bethany House. If you really want to read this story then you will find a copy of "Thomas Wingfold" by George MacDonald. I can´t imagine why anyone would want to read an edited version when the real thing is available. Check out the official George MacDonald website. Many of his works are available on line, I´m not sure about this one. George MacDonald was one of the great ones and his stories, novels, poems and spiritual writings hold up well, in spite of the Victorian language. It is worth the extra effort to read the real thing instead of its shadow.
¤ 2) Paperback Book Curate of Glaston, The by Bethany House. A wonderful tale of a minister´s search for Christ and the lives that are affected because of it. It was because of this book that my interest in George Macdonald began!¤ 3) Paperback Book Curate of Glaston, The by Bethany House. Michael Phillips is a superb editor of George MacDonald´s books, in case you haven´t discovered that. The first book is about a minister who doesn´t know the Lord, but comes to it. He makes aquaintance of some surprising people who are dwarfs and they share their lives with him (and us)in a touching, incredible way; they really are at the heart of the story. Also in this is a wonderful, albiet difficult love of a sister for her brother that could be today, not the late 1800´s, when it was written. Another is about a doctor and a beautiful woman. I read every Geroge MacDonald I can find, and this is one of the best.¤ 4) Paperback Book Curate of Glaston, The by Bethany House. If you are really interested in reading George MacDonald, this is not the book for you. The text of the orignal book, "Thomas Wingfold Curate" on which this book is suppoedely based, is wildly tampered with, from the very first sentence of the novel. This is not George MacDonald at all. The editor has taken huge liberties with one of literature´s great Christian authors. I would suggest that you find the original text of this book rather that reading this. It will be worth the search. It is much better than this abridgement, which doesn´t even have the courage to call itself that.¤ 5) Paperback Book Curate of Glaston, The by Bethany House. "A lost legacy, startling secrets, life-changing love…Previously released as The Curate´s Awakening, The Lady´s Confession, and The Baron´s Apprenticeship. This unforgettable trilogy depicts the spiritual awakening of curate, Thomas Wingfold, and the lives of those he touches: Surgeon Paul Faber believes in nothing but his own goodness until a beautiful patient reveals her secret past. Richard Tuke searches for the truth behind his mysterious heritage with the help of a thoughtful and independent woman. Filled with suspense and love, these novels reveal God´s infinite and loving means of drawing hearts to himself."¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
