  <description><![CDATA[  <strong>It’s never too late.</strong>  <br/><br/>  Father Tim Kavanagh has been asked to &quot;come up higher&quot; more than once. But he’s never been   asked to do the impossible—until now. The retired Episcopal priest takes on the revival of a   mountain church that’s been closed for forty years. Meanwhile, in Mitford, he’s sent on a hunt for   hidden treasure, and two beloved friends are called to come up higher. As Father Tim finds, there   are still plenty of heartfelt surprises, dear friends old and new, and the most important lesson of   all: <em>It’s never too late</em>.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[  <strong>It’s never too late.</strong>  <br/><br/>  Father Tim Kavanagh has been asked to &quot;come up higher&quot; more than once. But he’s never been   asked to do the impossible—until now. The retired Episcopal priest takes on the revival of a   mountain church that’s been closed for forty years. Meanwhile, in Mitford, he’s sent on a hunt for   hidden treasure, and two beloved friends are called to come up higher. As Father Tim finds, there   are still plenty of heartfelt surprises, dear friends old and new, and the most important lesson of   all: <em>It’s never too late</em>.]]>

    <![CDATA[  <strong>It’s never too late.</strong>  <br/><br/>  Father Tim Kavanagh has been asked to &quot;come up higher&quot; more than once. But he’s never been   asked to do the impossible—until now. The retired Episcopal priest takes on the revival of a   mountain church that’s been closed for forty years. Meanwhile, in Mitford, he’s sent on a hunt for   hidden treasure, and two beloved friends are called to come up higher. As Father Tim finds, there   are still plenty of heartfelt surprises, dear friends old and new, and the most important lesson of   all: <em>It’s never too late</em>.]]>
