I
have to admit, Mom was right (you can even tell her I said so). “At Home in Mitford” by Jan Karon is a New
York Times Bestseller and contains no sex, violence or bad language. Take a break from the bleak chaos of our world today and escape to a small town in North Carolina where orange marmalade cakes, exuberant dogs, unloved boys and charming characters cross each others’
lives in a beautifully woven tapestry.
Part of what makes this book so special to me is Father Tim’s personal faith in God. He lives out his faith daily, looking for
guidance and wisdom as he interacts with the various residents, many of whom
share his faith. It’s a beautiful
portrait to me of what a life of continual prayer looks like. I especially love when the characters pray
The Prayer That Never Fails (Thy Will Be Done, from Matthew 6).
