I have just finished the first 2 books of his Harmony series and I am loving them almost as much as the Mitford series by Jan Karon.

I was OK with the first couple but as I kept reading them I realized I had some serious issues with his theology and I ended up not finishing the series. Then I happened to glance at one of his non-fiction books which totally reinforced the issues I had been having with his fiction so I don't think I'll be reading any more of his books.

Oh, no! I have only read the first two, but I have ordered number three. I will have to delve in and find out about all of it. I was just really sad when I finished all the Mitford books and have been looking for another series with the same "feel"- any recommendations?

You might like Glenbrooke Series by Robin Jones Gunn...I really enjoyed this series!

i'm reading the Chapel Inn series right now and i really like it. it does have that mitford feel to it. unfortunately my library only has the first 7 books so now i'm going to have to inter-library loan the rest of the series.

Does the Chapel series need to be read in order? They sound interesting and I am going to add them to my list.

I've read the ones I have out of order and was fine with it.  I'll be posting them soon.  They don't have isbn's, being they are from guidepost club.

I have been reading the Cape Light books by Thomas Kinkade and I've really enjoyed them. Also, the Heavenly Daze series by Lori Copeland and Angela Hunt are wonderful. You might want to check them out. I parted with my Heavenly Daze set and have been so sad that I did. Some books become like family, you know?
