The Island of Heavenly Daze

Better than Jan Karon's Mitford - this book transports from the chaos and sadness of today into a realm of hope and hereafter. It accomplishes what a lot of preachers can't. A definate read to comfort mind, body and spirit. After reading the first I purchased the rest.

The Island of Heavenly Daze is an endearing book that places the reader on a small island off the coast of Maine. The characters are introduced in a way that leaves you wanting more. The Heavenly part of the island, and unknown to its inhabitants, are the seven men that live along side them who are angels sent from God to help them find their way. This book is the first of three and focuses on the beloved Reverend of the local church who has lost his way, and needs a bit of a nudge from one of our angels. After ten years with this small community he fears they want to replace him with some one younger. His baldness becomes a major issue and he decides he needs a toupee. The antics begin and the laughs are frequent. There is also a serious side to our community and story as an aunt and long lost niece need help finding their way back to each other. This book is similar to the Mitford Series by Jan Karon. Titled "The Heavenly Daze Series", the second book is titled GRACE IN AUTUMN, and the third is A WARMTH IN WINTER. Kelsana 2/8/02

This book really touched my heart. It was not only very humorous but the message of God's love and devotion to us gave me a feeling of hope and strength. This is a wonderful book for anyone that loves the Lord and loves to laugh. I can only hope that some day angels will be living in my home! Please, read this novel - I guarantee there is something wonderful in it for everyone.

With the surprising plots and great characters I've come to expect from Angela Hunt and the cozy warmth of Lori Copeland, The Island of Heavenly Daze launched a new series to a place I'll want to go to often. I laughed out loud and was sorry when the book ended! This is a book you'll want to read over and over.

A delightful read! You'll find yourself laughing out loud at these different characters living on the island of Heavenly Daze. A refreshing approach to teaching us how God works in our lives no matter what our personality. Lori Copeland and Angela Hunt have hit a home run with this series! Can't wait to see what these charming people will get into next!
