Summary
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.
This audiobook, "Shepherds Abiding," tells a beautiful story that not only encourages but also serves as a reminder of what we should truly be celebrating this Christmas. The narration by John McDonough is absolutely excellent!
This audiobook is a fantastic way to embrace the holiday season. I make sure to listen to it annually as a tradition before Christmas. It beautifully captures the essence of what Christmas truly means. The narration is absolutely flawless, and the inclusion of beautifully sung Christmas carols adds to the overall experience. Plus, having the recipe for the orange marmalade cake is a delightful bonus. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, and let's remember that Jesus is the most precious gift we can receive.
I really connected with this book, as it reminded me of my childhood growing up in a big family with 15 siblings. We didn't have much, but just like in this book, it taught me that love and simple joys in life can bring the greatest happiness. Overall, it's a fantastic read.
I gotta say, "Shepherds Abiding" is one heck of a heartwarming Christmas tale. It's all about spreading love and kindness, and it truly captures the essence of what Christmas is all about. It's like receiving a much-needed blessing straight from the heavens.
Absolutely adored every single moment of this delightful read! Highly recommend diving into the other books in the series to fully immerse yourself in the charming world of the town's residents. Wishing everyone a fantastic reading experience!
I can't believe I only discovered The Mitford Series now! It didn't take me long to develop a fondness for its characters. And the narrator? He really brought the book to life. I'll definitely be tuning in to the rest of the series.
We're big fans of the entire series and we've become super attached to the characters. Jan Karon's writing is just gorgeous. And let me tell you, John McDonough knocks it out of the park with the way he brings these characters to life. Their personalities shine through and their voices are spot on.
I absolutely adored this book. Since I'm already getting ready for Christmas, crafting handmade presents, Shepherds Abiding truly motivated me to put my heart into it!
