Summary: I couldn't get enough of it
Review: I'm a so called "sophisticated reader" and adored all of Jan Karon's characters. When I finished all of the books I became mildly depressed thinking that I would never really know what became of my friends. I'm delighted that Jan Karon has decided to share her friends with all of us.

Summary: Definitely an uplifting experience...
Review: I can't put in words how much I enjoyed this series! I fell in love with everything from the characters involved, whose roles were intelligently created, to the wonderfully profound statements made by Father Tim himself. I found the books very much a relief and I found myself crying and laughing outloud with the characters in their different situations. The words of Jan Karon through her characters are thought-provoking and made me question many things about my life. The spiritual aspect of the books are unusual to a best-seller but I found it very reliving to read about the way a single man was able to bring Jesus Christ to so many people's lives in such a big way. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who wants a relief, a word of encouragement, and an uplifting experience.

Summary: The Mitford series is a definite delightful surprise
Review: Wow, from the first of the series to the end of the last of the four books, I couldn't put the excellent works down. Even the question and answer's with the author were informative. If you want to feel good and feel better about the world then this is a must read series.

Summary: VERY UP-LIFTING
Review: READING THE MITFORD SERIES WAS A VERY UP-LIFTING AND PEACFUL EXPERIENCE FOR ME. I COULD NOT PUT THE BOOKS DOWN. I ENJOYED THE WAY THAT FATHER TIM HAD A HAND IN HELPING SO MANY TRUE TO LIFE PROBLEMS REACH A CONCLUSION. THE SITUATIONS CREATED IN THIS SERIES COULD HAVE BEEN LOCATED ANY WHERE IN AMERICA.

Summary: Jan Karon has found the way to teach about the WAY.
Review: Jan Karon has found a way to witness Jesus Christ in an entertaining, creative way. As a Christian, the book was rich and fulfilling with Biblical verse and reinforcement of beliefs. To the non-Christian, the story will be interesting with teaching of the Word of God, non-threatening, because it is an integral part of the lives of these humans who have the frailties, concerns, and screwups of the average human being. The story is gently told. If you want a lot of shot-em-up action, try another book.

Summary: Fabulous! The best down-to-earth Christian Fiction ever!
Review: I have read all four Mitford books, TWICE. The characters are real, and real issues like alcoholism, death, illness, fear are all dealt with in a where-the-rubber-meets-the-road manner. I am anxiously awaiting the next installment. I don't want to put a Cynthia Coppersmith type "crushing deadline" on Ms. Karon, but your lovingly enthusiastic readers await!

Summary: A real feel good book!!
Review: From the first page of At Home in Mitford to the last page of Out To Canaan, I could not put the books down. I've never felt compelled to write to an author before but I would love to write to Karon or visit with her in her kitchen over a cup of coffee. Her integration of faith and life is not preachy or sacchrine but sincere and warm. The characters live out the golden rule and have a wonderful sense of humor that more of our world could use. I hope she continues to write about Mitford and Fr. Tim. What a blessing this series is!

Summary: The characters from Mitford are utterly charming!
Review: I grew up in North Carolina and felt quite at home with the characters. I did find myself wanting to get to the next page quickly to see how the situation would resolve itself. I could not put the books down until I was finished with the last page of OUT TO CANAAN. Father Tim changed for the better, even with all of the constant comings and goings of the parish, family, friends, etc. I think it would be wonderful to live in Mitford because of its charm and all of the good people. I especially liked the positive influence of the older people like Miss Sophie on the younger folks. Even if one reads it in a book, caring for your friends and neighbors is a trait that I hope has not gone out of style.

Summary: UPLIFTING
Review: Jan Karon allows the reader refreshing new perspectives on life and compassion for one another.The Mitford Series, while providing entertainment, focuses on spirituality, gentleness, and humor in it's purest form. In real life, there are real Fr. Tims and community if we take the time to look. Thanks Jan Karon. I hope she's writing another great read!

Summary: Outstanding!
Review: Having read all 4 books about Fr. Tim and company, I have since reread all of them. I would like to move to Mitford. Is there a Mitford Home Page? Please tell me if there is another book to follow soon. I wonder how Fr. Tim and Cynthia have made out since retirement.
