A Light in the Window (The Mitford Years)

Summary: You can go home again . . . to Mitford
Review: This book was every bit as delightful as At Home in Mitford, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. Jan Karon has created the perfect small town in which we would all like to live, and it is a joy to visit there, even if only for a little while. Esther Cunningham, the mayor of Mitford, says that Mitford always takes care of its own, and I think that is what we all love about the place. It's a place where the community love God and love their neighbors, with all their faults and eccentricities. It is also wonderful to read a about romance between mature adults Father Tim and Cynthia. I applauded Karon's way of communicating Christian values without hitting us over the head with them. I always leave Mitford a little more aware and a little more kindly disposed toward my own neighbors. If only we could create such a community in the real world.

Summary: Absolutely the BEST!
Review: This is not my usual type of reading material, but to tell the truth, the cover caught my eye. I am finishing A Light in the Window and i can't wait to get the next one. I hope they go on forever!!!! This is the first time I have ever read something that made me truely sorry that it is fiction. If it were real, I'd move to Mitford in a heartbeat!

Summary: It is like a trip back home.
Review: This second book is just as good - - if not better -- than the first one in the series. It reminded me of a trip back home. It is so very nice to be able to read such a delightful book. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I am presently devouring the third one. I would be most happy if Ms. Karon continued the series for a very long time. I wish that I could move to Mitford

Summary: An excellent integration of faith and life.
Review: This was truly enjoyable as the second in the series. This book continues the friendship that we develop with the all-too-real characters. I truly appreciate the ability to show that Christians can demonstrate their faith through the way they live. The applicability of the Scriptures to life today is wonderful.

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.
