A little known fact about me is that I like to read spiritual fiction. Philip Gulley wrote the Harmony series which I loved but then he switched to non-fiction. A Place Called Hope is the start of a new fiction series with most of the same characters as the Harmony series. Utterly charming and makes you feel that there is good in the world. It's just a nice simple book about a Quaker minister, his family and his flock. It'll also put a smile on your face. Sam Gardner is back and trying to get along in Harmony, even after he inadvertently finds himself at the wedding of two women in the Unitarian church.. this, of course, puts him in a precarious position in his own Quaker church... Gulley just nails the type of people we all deal with each day so well... the grouchy old men, the opinionated, the clueless... and without spoiling too much of the story his wife gets to use her library degree in a job! a beautiful ending.. I'm already looking forward to the next book in this series...
Do You like book A Place Called Hope (2014)?
Another great Philip Gulley book - I love all of them!
