About this listen

 In The Elect Lady, two farmers sons and a cotters daughter, despite their differing social backgrounds, forge a deep bond in childhood as they learn to follow Jesus together. As adults, their lives intertwine in unexpected ways with their landlord, his daughter, and her cousin. The revelation of the Lairds secret sends ripples through their lives. This lesser-known gem by MacDonald, while shorter in length, is rich with charming characters, unexpected plot twists, love, and valuable life lessons. However, readers are encouraged to approach it with discernment, as MacDonalds controversial beliefs may sometimes stray from traditional biblical teachings. - Summary by HannahMaryCopyright Religious Texts and Commentary Christianity Spirituality
