Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
It’s never too late.

Father Tim Kavanagh has been asked to “come up higher” more than once. But he’s never been asked to do the impossible—until now. The retired Episcopal priest takes on the revival of a mountain church that’s been closed for forty years. Meanwhile, in Mitford, he’s sent on a hunt for hidden treasure, and two beloved friends are called to come up higher. As Father Tim finds, there are still plenty of heartfelt surprises, dear friends old and new, and the most important lesson of all: It’s never too late.

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Jan Karon
Book 9 in the series concerning Mitford,Father Tim and Cynthia and all the flock that God has called him to serve Light from Heaven (The Mitford Years, Book 9)was a fantastic read. I have read everyone in the series and truly enjoyed each and every one of them. Since I am a clergyman in my pre-retirement years I shared a natural affinity with all the stories. Recommend the series to anyone who truly enjoys some light, wonderful reading.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Light from Heaven

Read all the Mitford Series

Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Great book, I guess
I've read most of this series & feel that thankfully, it's over ! I never got into the characters & the final book awaits my attention....have given it as a gift to persons who truly enjoyed....for myself, give me a mystery like Joanna Brady & J P Beaumont from J.A. Jance and Murder, She Wrote from Donald Bain & don't forget Stephanie Plum from Janet Evanovitch.I think what I'm saying is that this series was definitely for the persons to whom I gifted. Jan Karon kept their interest & they eagerly looked forward to the subsequent book. On their behalf, thank you for an excellent series.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - These books are not required reading!
As have many of the reviewers here, I've read all of Jan Karon's books. I find them to be comforting, soothing, safe cozy books to read. Sometimes, when life is truly stressful and anxious, that is exactly what I want. I draw a hot bath and read about a kind gentle world where nothing bad ever happens without a solution. People die when they're old, people give up their addictions, people love each other.

So I am pretty mystified by readers who gave these books one star and commented that it was a relief to put these last books down. No one is forcing anyone to read these books! There won't be a test in the morning.

I am not episcopalian, I am in fact an atheist. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy the comfort of these books. If you are so narrow that you buy these books and expect them to be something completely contrary to what they claim to be, what they are designed to be, then whose fault is that? Certainly not Jan Karon's, who it seems to me has been extraordinarily creative and successful at creating this little fantasy world for quiet comforting retreats.

I can't even believe that reviewers here complain for a lack of realism! You are reading these books for realism? You are upset that a book about an episcopal priest has too much prayer in it? You believe that solutions to these problems are too facile? Come on! That is what these books are supposed to be! When I read a Jan karon book, I am hoping for the same kind of escapism that I get from reading a PG Wodehouse book. It has nothing to do with reality. It has everything to do with jsut enjoying the read.

I'd recommend this one highly. I didn't think this last installment was disappointing. I also don't think it will be the last Mitford book. It will probably be the last Father Tim Mitford book, but I suspect that Hope Winchester and her new husband will take the reins. It would allow Jan Karon to write as a woman, and as a woman who spends alot of time in bookstores!

I personally am looking forward to it!

The "Father Tim" series of books are totally delightful and you will be disappointed when you read the last one! I love these books!
