There is not a world where this shouldn’t be a penalty 🤣🤣🤣

A decision like this could be the difference between winning or losing a title, crazy. https://t.co/PQzqMgETms

@thinkingwest I wrote a blog post about Lewis' list, as I run a George MacDonald website, and several of the books have connections to him (in addition to Phantastes, the one he authored.) We're publishing new editions of 5 of them, including this one which combines the two Georges!

The George MacDonald Short Story Collection has 5 great tales by the man who inspired #cslewis and #gkchesterton...and it's an easier gateway to his fiction than going straight to the lengthy novels!

Storied Sermons features the pick of the homilies from George MacDonald's fiction, as well as the best prayers (some of which I've translated from their original broad Scots.) Kindle version is $4.95!

[David John Jack @DavidJack1824]

@PhillipBeebe_ @Andrewnsnyder All of his Scottish novels. The first 3 (David Elginbrod, Alec Forbes of Howglen, and Robert Falconer) may be the best, but C S Lewis' favourites were Sir Gibbie and What's Mine's Mine.

[David John Jack @DavidJack1824]

Just published! ALL of George MacDonald's children's novels on Kindle! Douglas Gresham (stepson of C S Lewis) introduces the fantasies, which can be your gateway to the wonderful but mostly undiscovered realistic works, also included!

[The Global Tablet of Jurisprudence @gtj1247]

JAMIE MCGRATH PROVEN CHEAT FOR TRUSTY RED CARD: If you watch McGrath forensically after the Trusty slap/pull, McGrath claims 3 different bodily parts are hurt - hand, then changes his mind face, & finally changes his mind again to shoulder - classic 'malingering'. In any event, if shoulder area finally 'sore', that's caused by an aggressive 'pull', not the 'impact' of a 'strike/punch' on 'hand', so aggressive 'pull' not violent.
Verdict: Malingering by McGrath, not violent. Trusty Appeal must be upheld by @ScottishFA - is an absolute joke if such blatant malingering like that is deemed to be violent, and amounts to blatant cheating just stopping Celtic having first choice centre back for the derby.

The Prelude, one of the 10 books that most influenced C S Lewis, is now available with an intro by his favourite author, George MacDonald! You can find it at The Room to Roam website and here on Amazon: https://t.co/s2RhW24L99

@momisnowtweetin I'm glad the abridgements whetted your appetite for MacDonald's originals! It's possible that one or two of them might have had short excerpts from the true MacDonalds to show people how difficult the dialogue can be if you're not a native speaker.

[David John Jack @DavidJack1824]

My first blog of the year! A handy side-by-side list of all George MacDonald's REAL novels, and their corresponding abridgements. As I always say: C S Lewis, G K Chesterton & co read the originals, and you can too!

[David John Jack @DavidJack1824]

@momisnowtweetin Sorry for the slow response...haven't been on "X" for a while! Yes, you can certainly order straight from us, and all of my translations are on Amazon too (although they don't always make them prominent, so I can provide links if that's your preferred option.)

[David John Jack @DavidJack1824]

Announcing a new edition of the definitive #georgemacdonald biography, with an intro by #gkchesterton and back cover quote by #cslewis!
