Since he was a boy growing up in Missisippi, Father Tim has lived what he calls “the life of the mind.” Except for cooking and gardening and washing his dog, he never learned to savor the work of his hands. And then he finds a derelict nativity scene—twenty figures, including a flock of sheep, that have suffered the indignities of time and neglect.Could he give the small company new life? Restore the camel’s ear, repaint every piece, replace a missing nose on a wise man? “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks!” he reminds himself. It’s when he imagines the excitement in Cynthia’s eyes that he steps up to the plate—and begins a small journey of faith that touches everyone around him.The eighth novel in the bestselling Mitford Years series is a meditation on the best of all presents—the gift of one’s heart. Lovingly written and beautifully illustrated, it seeks to restore the true Christmas spirit and give everyone a seat at Mitford’s holiday table.©2001, 2002, 2003 Jan Karon; (P)2003 Penguin Audiobooks and Recorded Books, LLC Fiction Genre Fiction Romance Winter Christmas Heartfelt

A beautiful Christmas story, from the amazingly talented Jan Karon. “Shepherds Abiding” takes us right back to the lovely Mitford. We once again feel the joy and sorrow of each of the precious characters in her book.

John McDonough’s talent as a narrator is unmatched. He embodies each character within the story with ease and purity. Thank you John, it was a pleasure to simply listen.

The heart and soul of Christmas!
