About this audiobook
Republished in modern times as "The Curate's Awakening". A young man (Thomas Wingfold) "enters the church" through no real faith and only for want of something to do. After an encounter with a brash young atheist, he is thrown into an emotional, spiritual, and vocational crisis. Through his own doubts and through developing clarity gained from the counsel of a singular friend, he begins a slow journey toward faith, or - as he would put it - "a lovely hope." (Summary by John Schuurman & TriciaG)

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5MacDonald’s prose is unrivaled and his doctrine sweet and compelling.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Another Librivox Disappointment! The first 39 chapters are stunningly voiced. After that it is a mixed bag. Some readers are awful!! It's hard enough to read old books without dealing with awful readers.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Poor narratives by various people especially towards the end. Very disappointing.
