    About this ebook

    “We receive from God the white stone of our identity,” wrote George MacDonald, “on which is written our true name. Each of us is growing toward the revelation of our true selves.” MacDonald’s theology of love, hope, and affirmation runs through all his writing—and in The White Stone, Anamchara Books has pulled out some of the best selections and arranged them thematically.
