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.

Very worthwhile book

I always enjoy Phillip Gulley's books as they are about everyday people and they are good Christian books.

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 disappointed this is the last book. I will probably continue to read the books over and over again every so often.

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 identified easily with the struggle of being christian without being pious and judgemental.

Almost Friends

I have not read it. I sure I will enjoy it when I get around to reading it.

Another Harmony hit!

Another Harmony great. Sam is tired of hearing the same old thing every day. Well he gets his chance to take a break when his father has a heart attack and he takes three months off from the ministry. They ask for a woman to fill his space and this sets off a whole series of events. Will she fill Sam's place? Read the book and find out!
