Almost Friends: A Harmony Novel (Harmony Novels)

It's summer in Harmony, but not everything is as sunny as the weather. The good citizens of Harmony are back and stirring up trouble as usual, sometimes with disastrous results.

Pastor Sam Gardner must take a leave of absence from his post at Harmony Friends Meeting to take care of his ailing father.

But when spunky pastor Krista Riley comes to fill his position, the quirky Quakers seem to fall in love with her, and it begins to look like Sam's sabbatical may be permanent. Krista's resilience is put to the test when Dale Hinshaw and Fern Hampton begin to question whether a woman can faithfully lead their flock, and it looks like the resulting tiff might just be the undoing of Harmony Friends Meeting. Will Sam come to the rescue? Finding the answer to this question makes the trip back to Harmony worth turning every page.

Almost Friends

Church-goers young and old will relate to many of the situations in Philip Gulley's "Almost Friends." Story line is often funny, but also so sadly true when compared with many of today's real-life stories. Pastor Gulley has the ability to give a glimpse of the human element in church life. The...

Almost Friends

Phillip Gulley is one of my favorite authors. His Quaker minister and all of the other fascinating characters in Harmony are so true to life! Also, I appreciate that the pastor suffers from sins such as jealousy, and this gives a true insight into his character. He really worries about whether...

Reminds me of Home

I am hereby confessing my love for Phil Gulley. He so accurately portrays life in "Harmony" (which is actually Danville, Indiana) it makes me laugh and cry at the same time. I should confess that I am a Quaker and that my family is from Danville/Harmony. I don't know if that makes me a worse...

Great Series

I have read the entire Harmony Series. All the harmony books are funny, delightful and entertaining. Having had a fundamental baptist upbringing I have meet first hand some Dale Hinshaws and Fern Hamptons. Oh course that probably explains why I now attend a non denominational church. I'm...

Comfortable, small town quirkiness

This is an easy read about the quirky members of a Quaker church in a small town in Indiana and their introduction to a female student preacher, their pastor's feelings about his own inadequacies, and the power of gossip and inuendo. Although some characters are drawn larger than life, I...

Not Gulley's Usual!!

I've read every Harmony Novel and have enjoyed all of them but this last one is wanting!! I'm very weary of the character of Dale Hinshaw and his narrow mind. The author should put Dale in his place and have him pay for his bigotry and judgemental behavior. He seems to go on and on and on with...

The continuing small-town antics of the good folks of Harmony

The only disappointment readers will have with Philip Gulley's ALMOST FRIENDS is that it completes the Harmony series. Say it isn't so! This last installment stays true to the previous books --- chock full of dry wit and the small-town foibles of churchgoers, and permeated throughout with...
