Master storyteller Philip Gulley returns
to the winsome ways of Harmony,
Indiana, the small Midwestern town
that captured the hearts of readers in his
acclaimed debut novel, Home to Harmony. Just
Shy of Harmony follows the happenings of an
eventful year spanning two Easters, in which
Quaker pastor Sam Gardner and the members of
his flock discover surprising answers to life's
challenging mysteries.
Sam has an unexpected crisis of faith--will he
overcome it? Does the future of the church really
lie with Pastor Jimmy of the Harmony Worship
Center and sermons like "Ten Mutual Funds
Jesus Would Die For"? Will Wayne Fleming
resolve his conflicted love for the beautiful
lawyer Deena Morrison, owner of The Legal
Grounds Coffee Shop, where ten dollars buys
you a cup of coffee and the answer to any two
legal questions?
All the lovable Harmony characters are here,
with all their homely charms. Readers will
discover a secret illness, learn of a surprise
lottery recipient, and laugh at the progress of
Dale Hinshaw's ill-hatched Scripture-egg
ministry. When Easter dawns, all will expect a
miracle in Harmony.
PHILIP GULLEY is a Quaker minister,
bestselling author, speaker, husband, and father.
He is the author of Front Porch Tales, Hometown
Tales, and For Everything a Season. He and his
wife, Joan, live in Danville, Indiana, with
their sons, Spencer and Sam.
