The Elect Lady

""The Elect Lady"" is a novel written by the renowned Scottish author George MacDonald. The story revolves around a young woman named Mary Marston, who is known for her piety and goodness. Mary is engaged to a man named Robert Falconer, who is studying to become a minister. However, Mary's faith is put to the test when she meets a man named David Elginbrod, who is a self-taught minister and a social reformer.

As Mary struggles to navigate her feelings and beliefs, she must also confront the societal pressures and expectations placed upon her as a woman in the 19th century. ""The Elect Lady"" is a powerful exploration of faith, love, and social justice, and is considered one of George MacDonald's most significant works.""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.
