Michael Phillips’s non-fiction reflects his dual passions: Christian faith and the literary legacy of George MacDonald. His 1987 book George MacDonald helped revive interest in the Victorian author whose allegorical fiction influenced generations of Christian writers, including C.S. Lewis and Phillips himself. The book established Phillips as a leading MacDonald scholar and editor.
His other non-fiction ranges from Destiny Junction, a book about finding purpose in life, to The Commands, a study of biblical principles, to Endangered Virtues and the Coming Ideological War (2023). Across six titles published over more than three decades, Phillips applies the same thoughtful, faith-centered perspective that drives his historical fiction.
