For Everything a Season: Simple Musings on Living Well

Summary: Touching and joyfilled book about a special, real town.
Review: Danville isn't a pretend place. It's my town. Phil Gulley brings it to life with humor, love, and best of all, with God's grace. I would want to pack up and move here if I wasn't already so blessed. He is a male version of Erma Bombeck, able to make the reader laugh, cry, and see their own world in his pages. He takes the everyday journey of life, and illuminates it. The love of God shines through these same, everyday moments. If you are from a small town, you will see your life; but if you are from New York City, you will still find company in the human race so tenderly portrayed. DO NOT MISS THIS BOOK! It is a like a sunset at the end of a wonderful day. Connie Rodenbeck, Danville, Indiana

Summary: Memories
Review: I grew up in Danville and Phil Gulley's books really take me back. Not only do I enjoy reading them, but my children are enjoying them very much. We had lived in Danville all of our lives until 1 1/2 years ago when we were relocated out-of-state. Reading them makes me feel like I'm back in Danville.

Summary: A great read!
Review: I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a gentle read, a confirmation that good still prevails and a sense of peace. Reminds me of the Dorsetville series by Katherine Valentine.

Summary: A Book that Cured my Homesickness!!!
Review: Right now I am in Evansville at college. Today I was in a bookstore and finally decided to buy this book. I'm from Danville, and have lived there all of my life. My whole family has lived here since my great-grandparents moved here LONG ago. After reading "For Everything A Season," I feel like I'm back in Danville again. I personally knew Adam (the boy from the chapter A Time to Heal: One September). This story made me cry. It happened almost two years ago. Other stories hit me personally. I have my memories from the Royal Theater, Blanton Woods, and flooded basements. If you are from a small town and want to reminisce, or from a big city and want to know what you're missing from small town living, this is the book for you. Mr. Gulley did a wonderful job. I have heard him speak before at a convention for Student Council, and he was wonderful. You'll love this book.

Summary: Lasting daily devotions. . .
Review: This gem of wit and wisdom is a wonderful way to start one's day. I read it at breakfast before the daily newspaper and as a result my view of the world is much more positive. Mr. Gulley is indeed the Garrison Kealer of the spiritual/faith authors currently on the American scene. A delight for the heart, soul and mind. This book and the other two similiar works by Mr. Gulley would make great gifts for anyone who needs a hug and/or a chuckle!!!!

Summary: Wonderful book!!
Review: This is a book to buy - in multiple copies. Mr. Gulley take Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, and with his easy going charm, small town simplicity and devotion to God, gives us all a spiritual hug. From discussion on prejudices (a time to refrain from embracing) to three things you shouldn't live without (a time to keep silence), there is much that is rich and deep to learn and to celebrate. And officially why Summer is the Very Best Season. If you think this book is not for you, because after all, you are not a Quaker - you are sadly mistaken. Mr. Gulley's simple writings and pleasing commentaries will enrich and delight everyone. I will send my copy on to Auntique Bea (who says of Home to Harmony: "picked up Harmony and in a few pages I discovered anew the charm of the book. I keep it out on the coffee table to I can skim through it at any time.") I will try to keep a stock to have on hand when a friend needs cheering. I can unequivocally say that it is just as charming as Home to Harmony, perhaps even more so.
