First published 2018
This compilation draws together the spiritual wisdom of Father Tim Kavanagh from across Jan Karon's beloved Mitford series. Readers will find the Episcopal priest's most memorable prayers, his Sunday sermons delivered to the small North Carolina congregation, and moments of faith-centered reflection that have touched millions throughout fourteen novels. Karon adds her own voice through a personal essay exploring how writing about Father Tim's spiritual journey has shaped her own relationship with faith. The collection serves both as a devotional resource and as a celebration of the gentle wisdom that has made the Mitford books a source of comfort for so many readers over the years.
