Come Home to Harmony …

Thousands of readers have fallen in love with Harmony, the small town with the kindly spirit whose endearing and eccentric residents are like old friends. Sign up for them for Sam Gardner’s second year as pastor of his quirky flock.

In Just Shy of Harmony, Philip Gulley’s follow-up novel to Home to Harmony, the award-winning writer again offers matchless slices of small-town life as he catches us up at the doings of the quirky characters that inhabit this small community. Beloved minister Sam Gardner slides into depression as his little Quaker church, which once had goals of spreading the gospel and ending world hunger, now juggles such lofty issues as what form of vanity table to put within the ladies’ restroom and the progress of its chicken noodle sales. Gulley gently pokes fun at evangelical Christianity’s foibles through his characterizations, including church member Dale Hinshaw’s “Scripture egg project” (chickens lay eggs with Scripture within the yolks to succeed in the unsaved). There are poignant moments: Wayne Fleming’s wife Sally has deserted him and his three kids, and now Wayne is in love with lawyer Deena Morrison, owner of the Legal Grounds Coffee Shop. When Sally returns home, Wayne will have to take advantage of difficult decision of his life. Reading one in every of Gulley’s stories is as comfortable as sitting in a rocking chair at the front porch, taking note of an old friend spin tales. This installment within the Harmony series is sure to win Gulley some new fans and please his loyal following. –Cindy Crosby
