A very useful and inspiring book whose conception comes from the fertile mind of Jan Karon, author of the widely acclaimed and popular Mitford series. Here she takes favorite sayings, comments and quotations from eminent men and women throughout history and ascribes them to journal jottings of Father Tim, her leading character from the Mitford series. Some appear to be from his ancient typewriter and others are hand-written with occasional personal comments. A friend who sent it to me entered in her own comments from shared life and reading experiences making the book a treasure.
A collection of sayings, poetry and other writing; supposedly collected by Father Tim of Mitford, but really Father Tim's author Jan Karon. Lovely bits from the Bible, Mother Teresa, Shakespeare, Thoreau and other much lessor known writers and poets.
