About this title

Synopsis

Evoking a time when life revolved around the front porch, where friends gathered, stories were told, and small moments took on larger meaning, in today’s hurry-up world, Philip Gulley’s essays remind us of the world we once shared―and can share again.

 

When Philip Gulley began writing newsletter essays for the members of his Quaker meeting in Indiana, he had no idea one of the essays 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 one million copies in print, Gulley still entertains as well as inspires from his small-town front porch.

Pull up a rocking chair and enjoy these stories of decency, common sense, and other endangered species.

• Small Town Life: From tales of the town hardware store to the local Dairy Queen, Gulley captures the unique charm and gentle humor of Midwestern community.
• Nostalgic Reflection: A warm look back at a time before the hurry-up world, when front porches were the center of conversation and connection.
• The Slow Life: Thoughtful essays on the endangered arts of contentment, simplicity, and finding joy in the small moments most people overlook.
• Faith and Friendship: Discover the funny, relatable, and inspiring perspective of a Quaker pastor whose newsletter essay was famously read on-air to 24 million people.
