Just Shy of Harmony

Fans of Jan Karon will devour this second installment of Philip Gulley's acclaimed Harmony series, which chronicles the lives of Quaker pastor Sam Gardner and the quirky inhabitants of the small Midwestern town of Harmony. Just Shy of Harmony follows an eventful year spanning two Easters, in which Sam and the members of his flock discover surprising answers to life's challenging mysteries.

All the lovable Harmony characters are back with their homespun charm. 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, expect a miracle in Harmony.

Philip Gulley is a Quaker minister, writer, husband, and father. He is the bestselling author of Front Porch Tales and the acclaimed Harmony series, as well as If Grace Is True and If God Is Love, coauthored with James Mulholland. He and his wife, Joan, live in Indiana with their sons, Spencer and Sam.

"Philip Gulley is a beautiful writer. His Just Shy of Harmony is just shy of perfect."
