Philip Gulley is a pastor, writer and speaker from Danville, Indiana. Many of his characters and recollections are taken from his boyhood in this small town.
Phil studied theology and sociology at Marian University and received his Master of Divinity degree from Christian Theological Seminary. While pastoring in seminary, he began writing essays for his church’s newsletter. Broadcaster Paul Harvey, Jr. received the newsletters and shared them with a publisher; the firm printed the essays in a collection titled Front Porch Tales, Phil’s first book in the best-selling Porch Talk series of inspiritational and humorous essays.
An eclectic author, Phil has now written 22 books, including the acclaimed Harmony series, chronicling life in the eccentric Quaker community of Harmony, Indiana. His latest fictional series continues the exploits of Sam Gardner, first introduced in the Harmony series. His latest series is Hope and includes A Place Called Hope, A Lesson in Hope, and A Gathering in Hope.
Phil will be at the Orleans Public Library on May 17th at 6:00 PM. This event is brought to you in conjunction with Indiana Humanities, Novel Conversations.
