CHANGE HEART (Harmony Novels)

This installment in the Harmony series by Philip Gulley, like all the others, gives serious insight into the hearts of men. I have to admit, I was sorta hoping that Dale Hinshaw's transplanted heart would turn out to be from a sweet little old lady which might soften his barnacled outlook on life. It turned out okay. And many hearts were changed, even pastor Sam's, who was work worn and about to grow weary in well doing. I look forward to the next Harmony installment, which is waiting for me on my Kindle app.

The whole Harmony series is very enjoyable, and it among my favorite in the fiction genre. They are all light-hearted and full of wonderful and entertaining characters. The books follow Sam, a pastor in a small-town Quaker church, and the eclectic group of individuals who are members.That being said, this was my least favorite of the series. I fear Gulley is runnung low on humor! This one was very pleasent and feel-good, but was not quite as funny as the previous ones. Also, one of the things I love about these books are the touching one or two-liners he usually ends the chapters with. They just warm your heart! But this book didn't have those.Either way, these books are easy, pleasant and clean reads. Enjoy!

I have read this book before when it first came out in hardback, but decided to read again on Kindle. Phil Gulley has a way with a phrase and there is always a good lesson to be had hidden among the funny stories. Written from Midwestern values and incorporating small town life from a Quaker perspective, who would not like the homespun and quirky appeal of a well told story? Always a pleasure to visit again or maybe even for the first time.

I purchased these books based on the fact that they were described as light hearted but spiritually based. The writing is excellent...the author is witty and dry and quite funny...but belittles Baptists more than any other denomination, and is quite humanistic. If you are just looking for a light hearted work of fiction this is fine. But if you have doctrinal beliefs, it can get to the point that it becomes frustrating...as it did with me.

These book by Phillip Gulley are so down to earth - I find myself wondering "how does a minister put up with all the different folks in their congregation" - I find myself comparing the folks with people I know (and maybe sometimes myself) I have all his books now - I usually give my books away but I will keep this set - I read some of the books years ago, now, I want to keep these they never go out of style - He is a wonderful writer.

Characters’ personalities truly come to life in Phillip Gully’s novels as was evident in this book. I particularly loved the way Gully contrasted one overly legalistic character with another who demonstrated God’s grace.

Love every one of the Harmony books and this one lived up to the wonderful series. The characters and emotions are realistic. The pastor is frustrated and loving toward his unique congregation. Each book is full of heart and grace.

There were several things I liked about this book. I liked the wholesomeness, the humor, and all the different characters who affect Sam’s life as he pastors his members.

This is one of my all time favourite authors and the stories are so warm and genuine with just the right amount of humour. We have had good luck with anything ordered at Amazon.

great
