Publisher Description

For years, Mitford's sixtysomething rector has been happily married to his parish. Now he's also married to Cynthia, his vivacious next-door neighbor. For Father Tim, life in Mitford has never been so full of surprises. His wife is aging his already ancient kitchen walls, not to mention burning his draperies. The mountain boy he's learned to love as his own makes a heartrending decision. And the agony of mastering the church computer system is as boggling as the pandemonium that breaks loose when his quiet rectory becomes a nursery. All this, however, is small potatoes compared to what happens on a wilderness camping trip that sends him home a changed man. In These High, Green Hills, Jan Karon takes you on a heartwarming and hilarious visit to Mitford, where her lovable characters always inspire laughter, tears, and fresh hope.

"The best part about the Mitford series so far, is the characterization. In the typical way of small towns, some people stick out and grab attention, and some pass by on the street for months before you notice them. There are some major transitions for Mitford people within the story, some losses and several personal challenges for Father Tim. But one of the key constants is Father Tim's faith,and his ablity to show how it's an active faith, not merely something that happens on Sundays. A great series for reconnecting with your personal values, and a reminder to appreciate those around you."

    " I enjoyed this book, the third in the Mitford series by Jan Karon, very much. Just as much as the first book, and more than the second. One thing about the Mitford books that is truly a delight is that, just about whenever I pick it up, I can count on a good laugh. However, in this series, I have found that God's name is used a little more than what I would consider appropriate. "
