When Father Tim’s wife, Cynthia, asks what he wants for Christmas, he pens the answer in a love letter that bares his most private feelings.

So much of our belief can be formulaic. We often think that if we do A, B, and C, then God will do X, Y, and Z. We check things off the “Good Christian Checklist,” trusting we’ll be okay, and our trials will be minimal. But when our experiences inevitably deviate from that belief, our trust in God often crumbles. After a series of life-altering trials—including a devastating diagnosis—uncovering faith in the cracks of pain is something Kristen LaValley knows well.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Excellent Series
I read the first three books then became an audible member and picked up where I left off with this book. Even better when John McDonough reads to me in the car, and before bed.

My MOST favorite.
This is my go to Comfort story. I’ve probably listened to it 30 or 40 times. I wish she’d write more.

Wonderful Addition to the Mitford Series
Jan Karon's Mitford stories just get better and better. I feel like the characters are my friends and I would recognize them if I met them on the street.

As good as I remember!
Very good! My mother read these to me as a child, and the recordings don't disappoint my nostalgia! If you enjoy wholesome, you'll enjoy Jan Karon

I LOVE the Mitford Series!
I LOVE the Mitford Series! I often listen and read these books and over again. it is so much like going home. in fact my personal tradition is listening to Shepherds Abiding between Thanksgiving and Christmas every year. I just may be able to recite the whole thing by now!! lol

Another visit to Mitford
Any additional comments?
I love this series of books and enjoy these positive stories. John McDonough once again brought Fr Tim and all the Mitford crowd to life beautifully. A pleasure.
