Come, My Beloved: A Novel
By Pearl S. Buck. 1953
The New York Times–bestselling, multigenerational family saga that reaches from America to India by the Nobel Prize–winning author of The…
Good Earth. Beginning in the 1890s, Come, My Beloved describes an American family&’s involvement with India over four generations. Touched by the poverty he encounters in Bombay, self-made millionaire David MacArd establishes a seminary for Christian missionary workers, and in so doing shapes the fates of his son and grandson. The choices made by each generation parallel one another, distinctly marked by the passage of time—though the patriarch remains in New York, the second David becomes a missionary in India himself, while his own son, Ted, goes even further, opting to live in a remote village—and these choices come with unforeseen sacrifices. Nor does their religious journey necessarily mean any growing harmony with their surroundings—something that is powerfully brought home when Ted refuses to let his daughter marry across racial lines. Featuring an unforgettable rendering of India during Gandhi&’s rise to power, Come, My Beloved is a family saga of rare power and sensitivity. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author&’s estate.

The Wise Woman: A Parable (The Cullen Collection #17)
By George MacDonald. 2012
A Victorian-era fairy tale of one woman&’s quest to redeem a selfish girl—from the Scottish author of The Princess and…
the Goblin. This shorter fairy tale &“Double Story&” (by which title it was also published), tells the story of spoiled Princess Rosamond, and a mysterious wise woman whom she meets in the forest, and who continues to come to her in different guises which the princess does not always recognize. Considered by some as one of MacDonald&’s &“short stories&” rather than a novel, this edition includes MacDonald&’s insightful essay, &“The Fantastic Imagination.&” This edition of The Wise Woman for The Cullen Collection is unedited. &“Reading this book reminded me why George MacDonald&’s wonderful fairy-tales have always been so treasured by Christian writers from CS Lewis to Madeleine L&’Engle . . . an astounding, rich story.&”—Vintage Novels
Sir Gibbie: A Novel; Volume 1 (The Cullen Collection #22)
By George MacDonald. 2018
The acclaimed tale of a mute orphan with an angel&’s heart. &“The most direct and most beautiful of all George…
MacDonald&’s novels.&”—Greville MacDonald, author of George MacDonald and His Wife One of the true high marks in George MacDonald&’s literary career was reached with the publication in 1879 of Sir Gibbie. Every MacDonald reader has his or her favorite, but it is safe to say that Sir Gibbie is near the top of the list for lovers of fairy tale, poetry, and novels alike. The character of &“wee Sir Gibbie&” mysteriously embodies hints from the land of &“faerie,&” and his soul is poetry personified. MacDonald&’s storytelling genius here rises to heights as soaring as the mountain of Glashgar in the Scottish Highlands where Gibbie roams barefoot with the sheep, amid earthquake and flood. It was this book that captured author Elizabeth Yates&’ imagination and prompted her 1963 edition of Sir Gibbie, which in turn led to Michael Phillips&’s updated editions that inaugurated the MacDonald renaissance of the 1980s. If one could choose but one MacDonald novel to read, many would say it should be Sir Gibbie. Following Elizabeth Yates&’ example, Michael Phillips again translates the difficult Doric dialect of MacDonald&’s original into more accessible English.

published as That Printer of Udell&’s, this is the first novel by Harold Bell Wright, one the most successful turn-of-the-century American writers. Many of his books inspired movies, including The Winning of Barbara Worth starring Gary Cooper and The Shepherd of the Hills starring John Wayne. In The Least of These My Brothers, Dick Falkner, on his own since the death of his mother, arrives in the bustling mining town of Boyd City. Poor, homeless, and hungry, he&’s a printer by trade who lost his job during a Kansas City strike. When a kind print shop owner named Udell gives him a job, Dick lays downs roots in the town, eventually becoming involved in a local church. Dick&’s hardscrabble past gives his faith a different perspective than that of most Christians, and his philosophy is met with resistance. Nevertheless, he rises as a leader in the community, one whose belief in service and championing of the poor will put him at odds with the city&’s selfish elite who will stop at nothing to ruin him . . . &“[A] thoroughly good novel.&”—The Boston Globe &“This novel presents a world that is both frighteningly real and firmly ambitious . . . the message of Christ is so firmly and wonderfully woven into the story that it makes it sheer joy to read. It&’s not just about knowing Christ in this novel, but living Him.&”—Christian Book Review
