Summary of Just Shy of Harmony (Harmony Novels)
This storybook's a pleasing primer on finding harmony when life is confusing and threatens to overwhelm us. Come back to Harmony, where the characters are quaint yet colorful, the mishaps familiar yet funny, and the moral of the story is always heartwarming and faith-inspiring. Sam Gardner's second year pastoring the Harmony Friends Meeting starts off with triple trouble in the flock. When the folks we met and mused over in Home to Harmony face more serious struggles-with faith, feelings, and finances-we follow their fun-filled predicaments and search for solutions. As in real life, Gulley's fictional people look for fulfillment and peace in different ways, collecting their life-lessons along the way. Don't miss a one!In Just Shy of Harmony, Philip Gulley's follow-up novel to Home to Harmony, the award-winning author again offers matchless slices of small-town life as he catches us up on 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 type of vanity table to put in 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 in the yolks to reach 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 must make the most difficult decision of his life. Reading one of Gulley's stories is as comfortable as sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch, listening to an old friend spin tales. This installment in the Harmony series is sure to win Gulley some new fans and please his loyal following. --Cindy Crosby
