I love to read about Uncle Billy and his jokes.<BR/>Thanks for all your help on my BLOG. I never could find the edits that got erased on my last one. I spent too much time trying to find it and was then too tired te reconstruct what I had writen earlier...Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675143999878806444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15573961.post-1128778755801375752005-10-08T09:39:00.000-04:002005-10-08T09:39:00.000-04:00Joan, I, like Terry, have been a vicarious citizen...Joan, I, like Terry, have been a vicarious citizen of Mitford. I have loved Jan Karon's depiction of small town life. I do love the way she shows that Father Tim is a respected and loved member of the community. Now that you have read this book, I think you would really enjoy going back and reading the entire series. Mitford is wonderful town to visit and the people are so reminiscent of people I have met in the towns where we have lived and in the churches we have served. Enjoy the journey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15573961.post-1128726696330380192005-10-07T19:11:00.000-04:002005-10-07T19:11:00.000-04:00I haven't heard of this book, either.

I grew to have great affection for the characters. I haven't read one in a while. I think A New Song was the last one I read. <BR/><BR/>Maybe it has something to do with being a preacher's kid. The people of Mitford often remind me of folks Daddy ran up on in his career.<BR/><BR/>It's good to see pastors treated respectfully and realistically. Father Tim may not be Billy Graham or John Paul II or Jim Turrentine, but he seems real to me. Fictional pastors usually drive me up the wall. Their creators are often incredibly ignorant of the church and paint their pastors as disgustingly dogmatic, sickly sweet and superficial, or nauseatingly naive. (Aggravatingly alliterative?)<BR/><BR/>I am enjoying your blog immensely! I'll have to read some more Mitford. <BR/><BR/>I'm gonna be looking for the Philbrick book, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
