Shepherds abiding a Mitford Christmas story Cover Image Large Print Book

Shepherds abiding [large print] : a Mitford Christmas story / Jan Karon.

Karon, Jan, 1937- (author.).

Summary:

Since he was a boy growing up in Mississippi, 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? 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.
