Welcome to Harmony ...

In an affectionate chronicle, Gulley follows the rookie pastor through parish life, detailing lively church squabbles and eccentric schemes. The meetinghouse provides constant trials, from Dale Hinshaw's bus to the guarded Friendly Women's Circle.

The town square anchors daily life between the Rexall bench and the Coffee Cup, beside Vinny Toricelli's stuffed swordfish. Across four seasons, the narrative charts an eccentric flock, balancing basement debates against quiet neighborly care.

In this acclaimed inaugural volume in the Harmony series, master American storyteller Philip Gulley draws us into the charming world of minister Sam Gardner in his first year back in his hometown, capturing the essence of small-town life with humor and wisdom.
