Additional Shepherds Abiding/Esther's Gift/Mitford Snowmen (The Mitford Years #8) (Mitford Christmas) Information

Since he was a boy, Father Tim has lived what he calls "the life of the mind" and has never really learned to savor the work of his hands. When he finds a derelict nativity scene that has suffered the indignities of time and neglect, he imagines the excitement in the eyes of his wife, Cynthia, and decides to undertake the daunting task of restoring it. As Father Tim begins his journey, readers are given a seat at Mitford’s holiday table and treated to a magical tale about the true Christmas spirit.

What Customers Say About Shepherds Abiding/Esther's Gift/Mitford Snowmen (The Mitford Years #8) (Mitford Christmas):

I loved this series and wish Jan Karon would have continued it for a few more books

I was completely satisfied with my product. It arrived within the specified time, it was new (as advertised), and the price was excellent.

Jan Karon is a wonderful author. I just wish she wrote more books than the Mitford Series. She can make you feel like you actually live in Mitford and are a neighbor or friend of all of her characters.

I seldom read a book twice, but Shepherds Abiding is an exception. It was actually the first book I read in The Mitford Years series, which led me to read the rest of the series. This book was so endearing and provided such sweet sanctuary each evening during the Christmas holidays last year, that I decided to read it this year also. And I look forward to reading it, again, next Christmas season.

IT IS CHRISTMAS EVE, 2008, AND EVERY YEAR SINCE ITS RELEASE IN 2005 I HAVE LISTENED TO THE WONDERFUL STORY, "SHEPHERDS ABIDING." IT IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE OF THE NINE TITLES IN THE MITFORD SERIES. I WOULD RECOMMEND LISTENING BECAUSE OF THE BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS MUSIC AND BECAUSE OF THE READING OF THE STORY BY JOHN MCDONOUGH.
