"[...]of light had shewed her the darkness; it was keen as an arrow, and the arrow rankled. And her neighbour's next words made her feel that her heart lay bare; so quietly they touched it. "You feel that you want something, Miss Powle." Eleanor's head drooped, as well as her heart. She wondered at herself; but there was a spell of power upon her, and she could by no means lift up either. It was not only that his words were true, but that he knew them to be so. "Do you know what you want?" her friend went on, in tons that were tender, along with that deliberate utterance that carried so much force with it.[...]".

Another pretty good George MacDonald By deborah This is a review of the complete story in both volumes I and II.George MacDonald's stories focus on the journey of a lost soul seeking its creator. In this story, Eleanor is the lost soul who, after meeting the missionary Mr. Rhys on an afternoon outing, longs for the "Helmet of salvation" that will free her from the fear of death and the knowledge that she is not ready to meet her maker. This fear becomes unbearably exacerbated as she undergoes a difficult illness, but she can't figure out how to get the helmet, or get it on. On her recovery, her handsome and titled suitor joins forces with her ambitious mother to manipulate her into marriage. Meanwhile, Mr. Rhys has promised to obey his calling to become a missionary in a remote island of cannibals.The story is a fascinating one - like the other reviewer, I found the portrayal of a suitor who is unbelievably selfish and manipulative while seeming to be nothing but considerate and loving to be mesmerizing. Immature Eleanor, without the strength of faith, is unable to free herself from the dual manipulative tactics of her mother and Mr. Carlisle, and equally unable in her confusion and despair to figure out how to finally get the faith she longs for.In comparison to most Christian writing, this book definitely deserves five stars. In comparison to the George MacDonald novels that are my favorites, though, it deserves only three (I think What's Mine is Mine and Donal Grant are far better). I had to average it out to four.It was difficult for me to stay engaged with Eleanor through most of Volume I. After hearing very plain speaking and clear instructions for what one must do to acquire faith and the fearless "helmet" she so longs for, Eleanor somehow still never, ever, ever does lift a single prayer to God, but only cries at the end of each chapter, "What shall become of me?" After about the fifth time this happened, I started flipping through. She finally does start praying, and things finally move along in that regard, but oh, does she ever have a slow start! In the meantime, the manipulative Mr. Carlisle has made it impossible for her to break off her engagement, though she is aware of Mr. Carlisle's worldliness, and is becoming enough aware of her attraction to Mr. Rhys to realize she should not marry him. But Mr. Rhys goes to Fiji... and Mr. Carlisle and her mother remain immune even to definite refusals.I love how George MacDonald clearly and intuitively draws out the motivations and thoughts of his key characters, and how clearly he draws a picture of the essential elements of robust and growing faith, though I don't always fully agree with some of his conclusions about doctrine. I recommend this book, but not as much as the two others.

It was fascinating,and, more than that, it provoked me to think deeply about certain verses in the Bible and about my own spiritual walk. It was hard to put down for the suspense in it: how would Eleanor finally decide in regard to the man who loved her and wanted to marry her. The relationship between them was...fascinating is the best word for it. I'm on volume 2 now. The ending of volume 1 was unpredictable but perfectly right and satisfying.
