Philip Gulley has become the voice of small-town American life. Along with writing Front Porch Tales, Hometown Tales, and For Everything a Season, Gulley is the author of the Harmony series of novels, as well as If Grace Is True and If God Is Love, which are coauthored with James Mulholland.

He hosts "Porch Talk with Phil Gulley" on the Indiana PBS affiliate WFYI television's flagship show Across Indiana.

Gulley lives in Indiana with his wife, Joan, and their sons, Spencer and Sam—in a rambling old house with Gulley’s eclectic chair collection (64 at last count) and a welcoming back porch.

Gulley is also the Pastor at Fairfield Friends Meeting House in Camby, Indiana. If you find yourself in Camby, you're invited to attend a sermon.

These are my favorite short stories! Even though the author is a minister, he doesn’t push religion…just good wholesome stories, many with a good moral. Also, inspiring and feel good.

Philip Gulley always tells a good story, and these short stories are great examples of his talent as a storyteller. Sprinkled with humor, they still have a moral basis. In these tales, you will likely meet people like those you know personally. There is some good advice to be had in these pages: all you have to do is slow down, sit a spell, and enjoy some home town tales.
