There once was a time when life revolved around the front porch. Friends gathered, stories were told, and ideas were shared. Now, where ever you live, you can join consummate storyteller and Quaker minister Philip Gulley on his "front porch" as he talks about those extraordinary moments and insights that make up the lives of ordinary people.
Reminiscent of the stories of Jan Karon and Garrison Keillor, Philip Gulley's inspirational masterpiece Front Porch Tales grew out of essays he wrote for the newsletter of the Quaker church he pastored in Indiana. These real-life tales, told in a simple yet powerful style, uncover the little truths about work, family, friendships, and the deeper experiences of life.
Philip Gulley is a Quaker minister, writer, husband, and father. He is the bestselling author of Front Porch Tales and the acclaimed Harmony series, as well as If Grace Is True and If God Is Love, coauthored with James Mulholland. He and his wife, Joan, live in Indiana with their sons, Spencer and Sam.
"The tales Philip Gulley unveils are tender and humorous ... filled with sudden, unexpected, lump-in-the-throat poignancy." - Paul Harvey, Jr.
