Relation As Books A Light in the Window (Mitford Years #2)
While I have no doubt that I am not going to read the whole series, I picked up two when I was at the library and the second dutifully begins where the first leaves off. Someone commented that these are the types of books which little old ladies read when they feel like they can put their collective noses into other people's affairs. If one hasn't read these books, that's a pretty good assessment, which is to say that it is totally incorrect. While Jan Karon has a huge following, no doubt composed in part of little old ladies, these stories are anything but what they appear to be on the outside. While the excitement is of a far more subtle sort, it is extremely human... as well as Christian. Without preaching, it successfully delivers the method of the utmost simplicity, something of which I think our Father would approve. It takes a while to become used to reading these, especially when you are expecting something exciting and dangerous, but what you end up with is that people are real and they solve their issues in very real ways. These are funny, inviting and joyful books of the Christian faith, and without too much of a stretch, I would probably say that they were inspired also. They are works of grace and beauty also, but that takes a while to see, if you are a complicated person with a complicated life. It makes you wonder why we made our lives so complex in the first place...and what we missed when we did so.Define Books In Favor Of A Light in the Window (Mitford Years #2)

While Jan Karon has a huge following, no doubtI just loved this so much and Ive laughed over and over again. What a wonderful town and I love all the people who live here. Jan Karon is a wonderful writer full of surprises. If you want something good then this series is for you. Its light, fun and full of laughs. This was a library loan and all opinions are my own.
Had you asked me I would never have thought I'd be reading a series of books like this one. (Not macho, you know). This is the story of a middle aged (maybe late middle-age?) clergyman in a small town. Again I came over these when i was listening to books and reading whatever I could get my hands on it seemed and I was surprised how involving these were. I hate soap operas and these books (except possibly for the "Wedding Book" which i couldn't get through) don't "slump" into soap opera mode. I
4.5 stars. This may be a Father Tim year. I love these characters so much, and they get better with time. So many laughs and smiles inside this one. This is another reread, and relisten. The audio performances of this series are terrific. The narrator becomes the characters. He changes voices convincingly for each one, and it was a joy to listen. If you've ever wondered what it must be like to be the pastor of a small parish, where people really walk their faith out, and look after each other,

These books are really pretty terrible.
The second in the Mitford series we join Farther Tim returning from ancestral Ireland trip to his quaint NC village. In this installment we find a 61 year old man receiving attentions of three women. This sweet village sees new love, lost love, new lost family; they fight 'progress' and honor their history. I love visiting Mitford and experiencing the grace that comes with these characters. I am looking forward to the next installment.Modern Mrs Darcy 2018 Reading Challenge 'A Book by a Favorite
