Signs and Wonders : A Harmony Novel

Rating:
Summary: Best of Harmony!
Review: This had to be my favorite "Harmony" book by Phillip Gulley! I laughed out loud in several places. This is a book of FICTION and it pokes fun at various aspects of a typical congregation, from the well-meaning but misguided people who judge others more harshly than themselves to those who truly do have Jesus in their hearts, but are overpowered by the strong voices of other church members. Poor Deena Morrison is still single, and everyone is trying to marry her off! Dale Hinshaw now has his "scripture balloons" sailing off to convert the heathens in Chicago, and Sam's wife wants the vacation she's never had. Oh, and then there's the replacement of the "memorial oven" in the kitchen where the annual Chicken Noodle Dinner is made! I hope Phillip Gulley continues to write about Harmony and it's inhabitants!

Summary: Another great visit to Harmony
Review: With the latest installment on life in Harmony, Gulley maintains that pleasing blend of humor, charm and faith he brought to his previous books. I keep fearing that he will become stale or repetitive, but the stories flowed as fresh and funny as ever. It was wonderful to revisit Harmony, and to experience that great combination of old friends and edgy humor. My only complaint may be that Gulley was a might too edgy with this one. The character of Dale comes to mind specifically; he did not seem quite so ignorant in previous books, nor did Sam seem quite so callous towards him. Then again, it is almost worth it to see how Dale is contained (temporarily I'm sure) in the end. When I did reach the end of Signs and Wonders, I found myself a little sad that I won't be visiting Harmony until the next book comes out. Which is always a compliment to the writer, I believe.
