Book Review: Home To Harmony

by Phillip Gulley
Avon Books, 2002
In March I read Phillip Gulley’s If The Church Were Christian. That book had a huge impact on me and my thought processes. I wanted to read more books by him. I certainly had plenty to choose from. I decided to start on his Harmony Series. Home To Harmony is [...]

Book Review: Bad Things Happen

by Harry Dolan
Amy Einhorn Books/Putnam, 2009
My Rating: A
Opening lines: The shovel has to meet certain requirements. A pointed blade. A short handle, to make it maneuverable in a confined space.
No, this is not a gardening book. The shovel is not going to be used for yardwork. It’s a mystery book about a man named David [...]

Book Review: Be the Noodle

by Lois Kelly
World Audience, Inc., 2010
My Rating: A

So when I saw his No Reservations at the book store, I bought it without even opening the cover. Mostly, I liked the subtitle – Around [...]

Visiting the Town of Lumby

To read The Lumby Lines is to approach a book in a different manner. Reading this book is equal to a visit to a special place and a special group of people. It’s not your typical page-turner and I mean that in a good way. The Lumby Lines is similar to spending an extended amount [...]

Book Tour: If The Church Were Christian

Rediscovering the Values of Jesus
by Phillip Gulley
Harper One, 2010
My Rating: A
Before I tell you about this book, you should know that I am a Christian. Except for the past decade, I’ve been an active church member. I’ve served as a church elder and in other leadership positions. I come to this book with a solid [...]

Book Review: Eternal on the Water

by Joseph Monniger
Gallery Books, 2010
My Rating: A
Eternal on the Water is a beautiful love story. It’s not a romance novel. And, yes, there is a difference. There is no silliness in this story. It’s a beautiful adult love story set primarily out of doors. What makes this a cut above  the other love stories [...]
