![]() ![]() Regardless of this minor annoyance, the start of Father Tim’s story as Karon presents it is delightful. Karon could also be staying true to the Anglican Church’s theology it may or may not reflect her own personal beliefs. However, this is not the place to dismantle this false theology. This places salvation entirely on your feeble human will rather than God’s efficacious will. ![]() ![]() Though I admit the purpose of the novel is far from being a theological exposé, it was unpleasant to read bits of decision theology in Father Tim’s conversations with certain individuals-that one must “accept” Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour. This work of Christian fiction was a pleasant read, in spite of brief moments of false doctrine. It’s a lighthearted, fun, and comical story with interesting turns of events-some for the worst, some for the better. The story follows the life of an Anglican priest named Father Tim 12 years into his ministry at Lord’s Chapel in the alluring small town of Mitford. The first of five books in the Mitford series, Jan Karon’s At Home in Mitford is a book of southern charm that takes place in the fictional town of Mitford, North Carolina. ![]()
