Overview
In a touching novel by the author of A Common Life, Episcopal minister Father Tim Kavanagh seeks the wisdom of Mark Twain, C. S. Lewis, St. Paul, Wordsworth, and others to help him lead his flock.
Publishers Description
Written in Father Tim Kavanagh's own hand, this wonderful collection of quotes brings to life the personal reflections of Mitford's beloved Episcopal priest. Here Father Tim has carefully recorded his favorite quotes from a variety of thinkers, philosophers, and poets whom he has admired over the years. Next to the quotes are Father Tim's personal comments, scribblings, and doodlings. From C. S. Lewis and Mark Twain to Aristophanes and St. Paul, these heartwarming words on love, life, and faith are a perfect addition to the Mitford series-and a must-have for Jan Karon's millions of readers. |

Dear Father Tim,
Millions of readers admire your wisdom and only wish we could make an appointment to discuss our issues. Love your quotes and find myself repeating them when I need inspiration. Love ya',
Charlene Mikkelsen, author of Wild Flowers Are Forever | | | | Excellent Collection of Quotes Jan 9, 2006 |
I've never read the first word of any of Jan Karon's books (which says nothing of her abilities.) I just happened to pick up this book at the "new book" section of the local library, took it home and was enthralled with the collection of quotes from various authors. And that's all the book is--quotes. But, I was so impressed with the book that I bought a copy for myself to keep and have lent it out to others.
If you want an excellent book to "jog" your spirituality or for meditation, this is a very good place to start. It is obvious that Karon has picked some of the cream of christian quotes. The book lends itself to skipping around or just read it page after page, which lends to the fun of the book.
Very enjoyable and thought provoking. | | | | Spiritual Delight Jul 20, 2005 |
| Anyone who is a fan of Father Tim and his Chrisitian insights and appreciates the wisdom of others that he finds in his life, will appreciate Jan Karon's clever presentation in this book. Pretty enough for your table, whether coffe or bedside, this little book is a jewel. One really feels that you have something of Father Tim's own journal, and you share some private and special insight into the thoughts of Mitford's best-loved shepherd of souls. From the first flyleaf where Father Tim writes his name, through the post-it notes and asides written in the margins, this is uplifting reading whenever the need for a great thought arises. Adding to the uniqueness of the volume are several blank pages at the end to which the reader can add personal quotes and insights. All of the the publishing information is placed at the end of the journal also. The volume makes a great gift for special friends that share your life and the love of the Mitford series. | | | | Better than bartletts quotations! Apr 6, 2005 |
I'm often looking for a quote to include in a toast, a note or even an invitation... I've checked out the standard quotation books and they are stilted in their organization and even when there's a fairly straightforward subject (babies, for a congratulatory note, for example) the quotations are mundane and uninspiring. This book is different.
It collects thoughts on things like reading, life, letter writing, love, service, death and lots on prayer and God. You'll be surprised how often you reach for it when writing! Plus it's a great read.
