Book Reviews of Hometown Tales: Recollections of Kindness, Peace, and Joy
Book Review: Hometown Values? Forget the Politicans--Just Read Gulley And This Book in Particular
Summary: 5 Stars
Forget "family values" as the politicians espouse them (we ought to throw all those people out of office any way), just read Phillip Gulley.
Politicans talk about "Family Values. Their talk in the state houses and in the capitol, and their understanding of "Family Values" is a bunch of bunk. Political crap. Political BS (Sorry, Rev. Gulley!)
This book is about real family values, values of the human heart and the human soul. This book shares the warmth that made American great and Americans special. We need more Phillip Gulley and less 24-hour news service, more talking hearts and fewer talking heads. And the politicans are less than that. Asses, perhaps? (The word is in the Bible, so don't get offended.)
Forget the politicians and their "famaily values." Just read Gulley and, as John Wesley said, you will find your heart "strangely warmed."
Summary of Hometown Tales: Recollections of Kindness, Peace, and Joy
Stories from a Place That Feels Like Home
Master storyteller Philip Gulley envelops readers in an almost forgotten world of plainspoken and honest small-town values, evoking a simpler time when people knew each other by name, folks looked out for their neighbors, and people were willing to do what was right?no matter the cost.
When Philip Gulley began writing newsletter essays for the twelve members of his Quaker meeting in Indiana, he had no idea one of them would find its way to radio commentator Paul Harvey Jr. and be read on the air to 24 million people. Fourteen books later, with more than a million books in print, Gulley still entertains as well as inspires from his small-town front porch.
