Criticism Regarding Books Sir Gibbie (Sir Gibbie #1)

Its for good reason that both C.S. Lewis and JRR Tolkien count George MacDonald as a mentor. Mr. MacDonald is a master storyteller and in this book has recounted the life of wee Sir Gibbie, an orphan who cannot speak and with no advantages (as the world counts them). Gibbie flees the city and is taken in by a simple country family where he finds love, friendship, and God. Gibbies simple faith in Gods Word ignites his love for people and his sacrifice to help all those in need. Its an inspiring

MacDonald is my favorite author, and he rarely disappoints. I can be a very critical personality, but MacDonald is the one author I have grown to trust almost implicitly. I always learn from him, and he always refreshes my vision and power to see beauty in the world. He makes me feel like he can actually makes sense of the cosmos, and does a better job than Ive EVER witnessed of integrating the sorrow and pain of life into a worldview in which life would be less without the presence of suffering

Possibly one of my favorite books of all time. Thoughtful, old-fashioned, and at time difficult to read due to the heavy Scottish brogue in the dialogue. Is Gibbie as a character, too good to be true? Of course. But MacDonald uses him to advantage to teach his readers the Christian way of life.

This book is one of my absolute favorites. Although, I'm ashamed to admit that I found a free version of it online - I'm looking for an antique copy to put on my bookshelf.The story, simply put, is beautiful. We follow the struggles and lessons of a joyously innocent mute boy through childhood into adulthood and meet the most colorful characters in between - some loathsome and some heartwarmingly precious. I read this over Christmas break during my freshman year in college, and the timing

What can I say? There are bestsellers, and there are good books. This is a good book. And that is one of the greatest understatements I shall ever be guilty of, but I am afraid to praise too much, lest my inadequate praise should bring the book down in anyone's eyes.If you CAN read MacDonald--if you love truth and beauty enough to hold to them tightly however difficult the going seems at first--if you can can make time for life instead of just living--if you can, do.And if you want a better

What a delightful read in this splendid translation by David Jack! MacDonald challenges us to know what goodness really is through the eyes of wee Gibbie. Could it be innate? We meet those who immediately love him and those who don't, but in their midst we do understand that love, real love, is the only thing that makes us good. I enjoyed reading of Glashgar, its surrounds, and its people. So many relationships, sermonettes, and adventures (the flood!) fill these pages.
