MICHAEL PHILLIPS (b.1946), a leader in a rising generation of spiritual offspring of C.S. Lewis, George MacDonald, and the legacy of the Inklings, has made it his life's passion to promote the teachings of these giants of the past.
Following the tradition of C.S. Lewis, he stands with others through the years who have shared a vision to awaken interest in the man known as the "Father of the Inklings," including the names Kilby, Yates, Hein, Sadler, Reis, Robb, Amell, Triggs, Raeper, and many contributors to this important work. Through their efforts, MacDonald's legacy lives on in the lives of thousands of spiritual grandsons and granddaughters.
Michael Phillips was instrumental in bringing MacDonald back from obscurity in the 1980s when his realistic novels had been nearly forgotten. Author and editor of over 100 books, Phillips' efforts helped ignite the MacDonald renaissance of recent years. He is undoubtedly among the world's foremost purveyors of MacDonald's message, with particular insight into the Scotsman's heart and spiritual vision.
