The Elect Lady is a novel written by George MacDonald, a Scottish author and poet. The book is set in the mid-19th century and tells the story of a young woman named Mary Marston. Mary is a devout Christian who lives with her father, a wealthy businessman, in a small English town. Despite her privileged upbringing, Mary is humble and kind-hearted, and she spends much of her time helping the less fortunate in her community.One day, Mary meets a man named Robert Falconer, a poor but highly intelligent young man who is studying to become a minister. Despite their different backgrounds, Mary and Robert form a deep bond and fall in love. However, their relationship is threatened by the disapproval of Mary's father, who believes that Robert is not a suitable match for his daughter.As Mary and Robert struggle to overcome the obstacles in their relationship, they are also forced to confront their own doubts and fears about their faith. The novel explores themes of love, faith, and the challenges of living a Christian life in a secular world.Overall, The Elect Lady is a moving and thought-provoking novel that offers a powerful message about the importance of faith, love, and compassion in the face of adversity.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.
