Publisher's Synopsis
""Thomas Wingfold, Curate"" is a novel written by George MacDonald, first published in 1862. The book follows the story of Thomas Wingfold, a young curate who is struggling with his faith and his calling. As he tries to navigate his way through the challenges of his position, he encounters a variety of characters, each with their own struggles and doubts. Along the way, Thomas must confront his own weaknesses and doubts, and come to a deeper understanding of his faith and his place in the world. The novel is a thoughtful exploration of the challenges faced by those who dedicate their lives to the church, and a powerful meditation on the nature of faith and belief. This is the first volume in the series, which continues with ""Thomas Wingfold, Curate V2"".Ah, Mr. Wingfold! what if, after all the discoveries made, and all the theories set up and pulled down, amid all the commonplaces men call common sense, notwithstanding all the over-powering and excluding self-assertion of things that are seen, ever crying, 'Here we are, and save us there is nothing: the Unseen is the Unreal!'--what if, I say, notwithstanding all this, it should yet be that the strongest weapon a man can wield is prayer to one who made him!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
