Getting to Know Jesus

By: George MacDonald

Narrated by: Lloyd James

In this inspirational collection of 12 sermons, George MacDonald offers compelling insight into the life of Jesus Christ.

MacDonald stressed the necessity of salvation and the importance of combining Christian faith with obedience to Jesus' teachings. He also believed that God's universal grace would eventually save everyone. Though written in the mid-19th century, these sermons, including "Mirrors of Christ", "Glorified through Trouble", "Salvation from Sin", and "The Giver of Rest", continue to provide contemporary followers with the spiritual guidance they seek.

For those who wish to know Jesus better, this is a book you will want to hear.

Profound!

This was such an amazing piece. A great devotion for the soul I highly recommend it

none more profound

Profound thoughts from a true spiritual master. MacDonald is solely responsible for my Christianity. Lloyd James' narration is excellent.

A must listen for people from all persuasions

First of all, this narration of Mcdonald's sermons is fantastic. McD'd works are hard to read because of his sentence structures but this audible delivery makes it very simple to follow .
My spirit resonates with the spirit of George McDonald. I've heard lots of teaching and sermons over the last 40 years and few people seem to be on the same page with McDonald. Reading about his life story. it seems like he did not do well in organized religions. it seems that he had a real sensitivity to staying in obedience to the teachings, manhood, and Sonship of the Lord Jesus. He saw the Christian walk as being a very personal relationship with brother Jesus and our heavenly Father. Our loving heavenly Father cares too much for us to let us wander off into harmful and foolish habits. He uses his refining fire to purify us from such stupidity. Our purpose here on Earth is to become like him by following the example of the life of Jesus. We honor God by aiming to behave like his original intent before the fall. And by asking for the holy Spirit's help, we can begin to experience this reality, though imperfectly.
These are the things I have pulled from listening to McDonals sermons dozens of times over.

For those seeking Christ

I enjoyed listening and learning how good Jesus Christ is till this day. Amen

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Every chapter felt like a fresh perspective, opening my mind to see Jesus in new light. Made me reconsider my own bias and preconceived notions of Jesus and where I might have got Him all wrong. It deepened my own spiritual understanding of God’s purpose for us as individuals, and reminded me that God’s view of us and plans and purposes for us are far higher, humbler, and better than anything we can create for ourselves. That Jesus offers us the best way, the deepest truth, and the greatest life to live here and into eternity.

Additionally, I loved the narrator’s voice. I kept thinking that his voice sounded very similar to Zachary Levi’s. I know it wasn’t Zachary Levi, but still, it added a warm familiarity to the reading.
