Praise for Philip Gulley

“Philip Gulley is a Quaker pastor from Indiana with a charming sense of small-town life—and a shrewd sense of life in general… A self-deprecating narrator… he knows how to exaggerate in a witty way.”

The Wall Street Journal

“Gulley’s work is comparable to Gail Godwin’s fiction, Garrison Keillor’s storytelling, and Christopher Guest’s filmmaking… in a league with Jan Karon’s Mitford series.”

Publishers Weekly

“The biggest collection of crusty, lovable characters since James Herriot settled in Yorkshire.”

Booklist on The Harmony Series

“The tales Philip Gulley unveils are tender and humorous… filled with sudden, unexpected, lump-in-the-throat poignancy. Through deft storytelling and his own irresistible brand of humor, [Gulley] explores the depths of the Heartland’s heart. A masterpiece of Americana.”

—Paul Harvey Jr.

“Philip Gulley is a beautiful writer.”

—Charles Osgood, CBS News Sunday Morning

“Gulley is a splendid storyteller… his books abound with shrewd insights into human character.”

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

“Gulley’s stories get at the heart of the simple joys, stranger-than-fiction humor, and day-to-day drama of small-town life.”
