Esther's Gift: A Mitford Christmas Story

This tiny book by my favorite author, Jan Karon, captures the true spirit of Christmas, give from the heart. You will love it!

Esthers' gift isn't a lengthy story...another in the Mitford Series. Yet, in it, I found another "chapter" of life in Mitford. The true 'meaning' of Christmas' which touched my soul. If you keep in mind this book is a 'small' piece of the Mitford life...you'll be thrilled beyond your wildest dreams! I plan to 'try' the cake. Perhaps as some have been 'dissappointed' in it...it 'may' be a 'ficticious recipe'... one that sounds like a real one for the book. It's a 'dandy' of a cake in Mitford...but Jan Karon didn't promise us (anywhere that I read) that it would win a prize at the State Fair! It's a MUST for your collection!

This is a nice little Christmas book for all who love Father Tim and the Mitford citizens. Jan Karon finally shares Esther's famous Orange Marmalade cake recipe. Remember the one that Father Tim loves, that was the special cake served at the reception when he and Cynthia were married. It's also the cake that almost ended his life. This is a must-have book for the true Jan Karon collector.

This is a great little book! The story is short, simple, but has a great message and is highly enjoyable. I recommend it as a fantastic gift for those friends and family who spread holiday cheer with their homemade baked goods. Make sure you give it to them well before Christmas!

This is a wonderful Christmas Story with a beautiful spiritual core to it. I love books that have a spiritual theme. This is a great book about a family miracle. Another spiritual book I recommend is called, "I Talked To God And He Wants To Talk To You"
