Description Toward Books Shepherds Abiding (Mitford Years #8)

The eighth novel in the beloved Mitford series, by the bestselling author of At Home in Mitford and Somebody Safe with Somebody Good 

Millions of Americans have found Mitford to be a favorite home-away-from-home, and countless readers have long wondered what Christmas in Mitford would be like. The eighth Mitford novel provides a glimpse, offering a meditation on the best of all presents: the gift of one's heart.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.

Critique Based On Books Shepherds Abiding (Mitford Years #8)

Don't read this or any other Jan Karon book in a hurry. They are not written with riveting plot-lines. They are quiet and thoughtful. They are subtle and they are gentle. They are Christian but not preachy. Read them to discover how to pull small town love into your live no matter where you live. This is a delightful little book.

This was a lovely book to read just after Christmas before the season felt like it was really over and as a first book completed for 2020. I love this series. I hope to read more of this series this year and maybe even finish it. This book is about Father Tim, now retired, working on a Christmas project for his wife, but he is not sure he is up for the challenge. Others in town have many changes coming in their lives, some of which will affect the town as a whole as one business is closing

this book got me thinking about Christmas and the real meaning.Also the giving of gifts.Handmade or a gift from the heart.I tried to remember my favorite gift(s) and Christmas.Christmas's of Family get-togethers and playing various games w/my cousins.Favorite gift is alittle harder.I remember the Rev War/ Civil War/WW2 battle set my folks got me In 1972.The pen knives that we got and lost w/in 3 days because they would be lost in the Haymow.I cherish all the books that I have been given and

It would be a good idea to read Shepherds Abiding every year at Christmas time. Every time I've read it, I find something I missed the time before. This book is about how an retired minister makes his Christmas in the small town of Mitford. All of the Mitford series characters are present but this time we get to see more of the ones that have kept a low profile in her other books. What a joy it was to get to know them better. I'll like to keep this book close this Christmas season to remind

I intentionally read this last (that's right, I've read all the Mitford/Father Tim books now!!) because I realized it was a Christmas book so I wanted to read it at Christmas time. Father Tim finds an old derelict nativity scene and decides to refurbish it as a surprise for Cynthia. Other Mitford townspeople get into the holiday spirit. That's about it. But it's sweet and Christmas-y and I love how so many people get involved with helping Father Tim meet the Christmas deadline. Good Mitford book



It's been a long time since I read a Mitford book and I know I used to like them a lot. This one is preacher than I remembered and choppily written so that it's sometimes hard to figure out who's talking. Probably my last Mitford.
