Sinopsis

In "The Elect Lady," George MacDonald intertwines elements of fantasy and realism to explore complex themes of love, faith, and redemption. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, the novel delves into the lives of its layered characters, particularly focusing on the titular lady who grapples with her identity in a male-dominated society. MacDonald's lyrical prose is marked by its deep psychological insight and spiritual undertones, reflecting the tensions of the age while underscoring the transformative power of compassion and understanding. George MacDonald (1824-1905), a pivotal figure in Victorian literature, is considered one of the forefathers of modern fantasy literature, influencing writers such as C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. His own faith journey, intertwined with his literary pursuits, informed much of his writing in "The Elect Lady." Confronted with personal and spiritual challenges, MacDonald poignantly articulates the struggle for authenticity and the reconciliation of the sacred and the secular, drawing on lessons from his own life experiences as a minister and novelist. Readers seeking a thought-provoking exploration of social constraints and personal liberation will find "The Elect Lady" an essential addition to their literary journey. MacDonald's masterful storytelling creates a profound emotional resonance, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives while engaging in a timeless dialogue about the nature of true nobility and the power of love.

    Now available for the first time in audiobook format! Psychology as Religion: The Cult of Self-Worship, has been hailed by many as a “modern classic” among both secular and Christian thinkers alike. This work is a trenchant analysis of modern psychology—an enterprise that Paul Vitz maintains has become a religion, a secular cult of self, now part of the problem of modern life rather than part of its resolution. 
    
     
    This audiobook, which was created from the second edition of the original 1977 text, takes into account much of what has happened in the field of psychology up through its second publication in 1995. Two completely new chapters are also included—one on education and “values clarification”, and the other on New Age religion.
