Porch Talk: Stories of Decency, Common Sense, and Other Endangered Species

by Philip Gulley [248 Gul]

Philip Gulley has a new book out, Porch Talk: Stories of Decency, Common Sense, and Other Endangered Species. If you've ever read some of his other books you'll know that his writing is laugh out loud funny. These stories like in his past books, are three to four page narratives of his life as a Quaker minister in a rural town in the United States. He writes about his family, the small town he grew up in and recently moved back to, and the value of neighbors and community. Some people have equated Philip Gulley to the modern day Will Rogers. If you're looking for a book that will give you some outstanding, down home advice on the sometimes crazy world we live in, this is the one to read. -- recommended by Patty L. - Walt Branch Library
