BOOK OF THE DAY



Home to Harmony by,Philip Gulley

Check our catalog and reserve!


Quaker minister Sam Gardner has always wanted to return to his bucolic hometown of Harmony, Indiana, and now--after 12 years pastoring in another state--he is moving there with his wife and two sons in tow. Among the eccentric individuals that populate Harmony are Dale Hinshaw, a church elder who knows "just enough Scripture to be annoying, but not enough to be transformed," and Billy Bundle, the "World's Shortest Evangelist." If you like Jan Karon's Mitford novels, you're sure to enjoy the Harmony series; Gulley's books are episodic like Karon's, with chapters that end in brief homilies highlighting the spiritual nature of everyday things. Gulley's down-home humor will also be a hit with readers who are partial to Garrison Keillor's tales of Lake Wobegon.
