An Introduction to Philip Gulley

Philip Gulley is a Quaker pastor and writer from Danville, Indiana. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Marian College, where he received a “D” in composition but only after promising the professor he’d never write again.

He went on to Christian Theological Seminary where he graduated with honors due to a grading error.

He is married to Joan (pronounced JoAnn) and they have two sons – Spencer and Sam. Before his sons were born, Philip was a pacifist and didn’t believe in corporal punishment. Now he’s having second thoughts.

Philip is the author of the three book non-fictional series- Front Porch Tales, Home Town Tales, and For Everything a Season. He is the author with Jim Mulholland of If Grace Were True which is also non-fiction. The follow-up If God is Love is scheduled to be published in December 2004. He is also the author of Home to Harmony, Just Shy of Harmony, Christmas in Harmony, and Signs and Wonders: A Harmony Novel the first four books of a fictional book series set in the town of Harmony. Not many people know where Harmony is because when you open a Rand-McNally map Harmony is hidden underneath the left staple. You can revisit Harmony in Philip’s most recent book, Life Goes On: A Harmony Novel, the fifth book of the series, published in February 2004 by HarperSanFrancisco. The sixth book of the series, A Change of Heart: A Harmony Novel, is due to be published in October 2005.
