Rating:  Summary: A Wow! Review: My cousin attended seminary with the author and gave me this book for Christmas. As an afterthought I picked it up four days ago and now have read all but the last story--You will be captivated by how easy these stories are to read, yet how deep of meaning they carry. I now know what books I will be giving to people for the next year. My favorite and the story I often retell to folks (over the phone even) is "The Clothesline." It's full of chuckles. Simple messages about the fruit of the spirit that are heart warming and inspirational. The keen insights are refreshing and poignant. Keep writing Philip!
Rating:  Summary: a must read Review: One of the best books that I have ever read. Very tought provoking, insightful, and witty. Highly recommended!
Rating:  Summary: Fun Read!! Review: This book was as good as his first book, maybe better!! Gulley has a great way of telling a typical lifehood story and turning out a morel. It is written like Reader's Digest, with short stories.. I highly recommend this book to anyone!
Rating:  Summary: Very entertaining, well written! Review: This book was so good! I laughed out loud several times. Phillp has a gift for telling tales. I can't wait for more books by him.
Rating:  Summary: Crisp, clear, images of midwest life. Funny! Review: This is a great little book. A one sitting read. I was a little weiry of the Quaker ties, but it did not interfer with the tales.
Rating:  Summary: Morality in evryday life, with humor and insight. Review: This is an amusing and at the same time thought-provoking book. The author, without pushing the Quaker religion, finds God at work in everyday situations such as we all experience. It makes one stop to think, and to appreciate the intervention of the divine, without being "preachy" in any degree. A book reflecting faith in God and one's fellow humans.
Rating:  Summary: This book is rare treasure... Review: What fun when I find a book that captivates your attention, feeds your soul, and makes you laugh all at the same time. I love to read a great book and know there are more by the same author to savor and look forward to. The short story format makes for short get-aways during my day to sit and gain perspective and remind myself just what is most important in life. This book and others by the same author are treasures I'm so glad I found. They make wonderful gifts too!!!
