Book Review: the meaning of feel good
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say about this book?
Well, I can say that after reading Front Porch Tales I felt so warm and happy.
Philip Gulley comes across as not only a caring human being, but one filled with humour and goodness.
It's so easy to read that you wonder if it's too easy ...No, it's not. Because in this cold and computerised world we live in, Philip Gulley is able to gently take us back, in very understandable language, to a different world, a different set of standards - a better world.
Just sitting on his front porch with him and sharing his stories brought the odd lump to my throat and a great desire to relive my days in the times he wrote about, the times that gave me a taste of true contentment, happiness and innocence.
He brought those times back to me.
Although he's a Quaker, he doesn't rub it in, (do they ever)? But, he made me wish that I was good enough, sincere enough and pure enough in my faith to become a Quaker like him.
Just get this book, take it to bed with you, read a few chapters and I guarantee you'll go to sleep with the biggest smile on your face you've had in a long time.
This book is just beautiful ....
Summary of Front Porch Tales: Warm Hearted Stories of Family, Faith, Laughter and Love
Wisdom and Humor from the Front Porch
Master storyteller Philip Gulley shares tender and hilarious real-life moments that capture the important truths of everyday life.
When Philip Gulley began writing newsletter essays for the twelve members of his Quaker meeting in Indiana, he had no idea one of them would find its way to radio commentator Paul Harvey Jr. and be read on the air to 24 million people. Fourteen books later, with more than a million books in print, Gulley still entertains as well as inspires from his small-town front porch.
