The Elect Lady is a novel written by George MacDonald, a Scottish author and poet. The story revolves around a young woman named Mary Marston, who is known for her kind and gentle nature. Mary lives with her mother and father in a small village, where she is loved and respected by everyone.One day, Mary meets a man named Robert Falconer, who is a student of theology. Robert is impressed by Mary’s character and begins to fall in love with her. However, Mary is hesitant to return his affections, as she is unsure of her own feelings.As the story progresses, Mary’s faith is put to the test when she is confronted with various challenges and obstacles. She must learn to trust in God and rely on her own inner strength to overcome these difficulties.Throughout the novel, MacDonald weaves themes of love, faith, and redemption. The Elect Lady is a beautifully written and thought-provoking book that explores the complexities of human relationships and the power of faith in the face of adversity.''Perhaps the hour may come, ma’am, when I shall be able to pray with my fellow-men, even though the words they use seem addressed to a tyrant, not to the Father of Jesus Christ. But at present I can not. I might endure to hear Mr. Smith say evil things concerning God, but the evil things he says to God make me quite unable to pray, and I feel like a hypocrite!''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
