At Home in Mitford

At Home in Mitford
By Jan Karon
Lion Pub., 1994. 446 pgs. Fiction

Readers of all religious beliefs will find something uplifting in this charming tale of an Episcopalian rector and his parish in a small, delightful town in North Carolina. Father Tim, a bachelor rector, finds his faith dimming and his energy lagging after twelve years in Mitford. A new dog, a semi-orphaned boy, and a new attractive neighbor (amongst many other things) help strengthen Father Tim’s faith and resolve to serve his people. Reading this strengthened my own faith and was a great read for the beginning of a new year.
