The recently married Father Tim and his plain-folk neighbors live the best of Christianity in everyday life. Even the rampant gossip in Mitford is the good kind: folks worrying about other folks and everyone minding one another's business out of concern rather than malice. As a result, no one faces a crisis alone. Often the crises are cause for a belly laugh, such as the rectory's new computer system that seems programmed to torment. But just as often the crises have the bite of real-life problems, such as the bloody young girl in shredded clothes, whom Father Tim finds after she was beaten by her drunken father, and the soul-wrenching despair Father Tim feels when he loses a surrogate mother. The heavily quoted scripture gives a day-to-day context for biblical teachings as well as spiritual solace during the sadder days at Mitford. --Gail Hudson Product Description: Mitford rector Father Tim faces the new challenges of matirmony after he marries his vivacious Cynthia, from the trials and tribulations of the parish's new computer, to redecorating the rectory, to his dog's new sleeping arrangements. Reprint. Tour. K. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - More unmitigated MitfordSimple, straight-forward, utterly loving and touching story-telling is the hallmark of Jan Karon's writing. Here, no less than any of the other novels of her charmingly quirky North Carolina town, her vividly and vivaciously drawn characters quietly glitter and glow with eccentricity and bucolic wit. A potent sense of place pervades the literate and lilting prose of flower beds, church narthexs, creek banks, and huge dogs. Karon moves her quaint chess pieces in an enchanting, spirited and spiritual ...

This novel begins with the fact that Timothy and Cynthia have finally gotten married and therefore must adjust to all the nuances of married life. Fortunately, they truly are in love. However, there are other issues abound, and I must say this is the darkest book of the series yet! And yet I kind of like that. Jan Karon ... Read More Rating: - JanJan Karon books are GREAT. You get the feeling you know the people personally. Rating: - These High Green HillsNew adventures in living from the author of the fabled Mitford series. When I read the first book from Jan Karon, I wanted to pack my bags and move to Mitford. I'm so happy Father Tim lives on in her new series beginning with These High Green Hills. I just she could write as fast as I can read. Rating: - Praiseworthy & Full of VerdureHaving just finished this third installment of the boxed set, I offer the following assessment: First, I usually avoid revealing plots or nuggets about the books I read for reviews and so I'll just stick with generalities here. With some humor, the author paints her unforgettable characters with verve in this book. Anyone with a warm heart will take delight in this most interesting tale down in the Carolina lands. Blockbuster entertainment? You can bet on it. Breathtaking action? Bet on that too! With a ... Read More
