"Once again, Gulley gives us a triumph of homespun values, pitched somewhere between Jan Karon and Garrison Keillor." -
Booklist
Sam Gardner's second year as minister in quaint and charming Harmony, Indiana, is fraught with trials and incidents, a crisis of faith, a marital catastrophe, and a church elder's ill-hatched scheme to scramble scripture with eggs. But a loving heart and a strong sense of humor is almost certain to see Sam through. . . even if all of Harmony is expecting a miracle come Easter morn.
"
Just Shy of Harmony is just shy of perfect." -Charles Osgood
"A wonderful tale of a fictitious community of colorful characters who share goodness and gossip, controversy and compassion-a real-life microcosm of mankind. Gulley's stories get at the heart of the simple joys, stranger-than-fiction humor, and day-to-day drama of small-town life, and reveal how even the largest of problems inevitably resolve themselves. No wonder he's been called Indiana's Garrison Keillor." -
