Product Description
Wisdom and Humor from the Front Porch Master storyteller Philip Gulley shares tender and hilarious real-life moments that capture the important truths of everyday life. When Philip Gulley began writing newsletter essays for the twelve members of his Quaker meeting in Indiana, he had no idea one of them 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 a million books in print, Gulley still entertains as well as inspires from his small-town front porch.

Life Lessons January 7, 2009
This small book is filled to the brim with short stories teaching life lessons. Our grandson picked it up, when he was visiting us, & read a story aloud each evening. This provided an opportunity for good discussions about character development, standing up for right, death, friendship, kindness, perseverance & more. We bought him his own copy for his birthday & he's now reading it to his parents & sister. Every home library should have this book!
wonderful stories presented in a wonderful manner June 17, 2008
Philip Gulley gets it. He understands so much of what has gone from our lives, where society has fallen off the path. And though he is a Quaker Preacher, he doesn't force feed it down your throat. This book doesn't come off as preaching, but rather as Gulley allowing you a glimpse into his life.
He shows us by examples rather than telling us. His stories of neighbors and family are as heartwarming as the front cover of a porch with rocking chairs promises. He references Bible passages but not in every story, and in a manner that is easy to relate to. His humor and wit are evident throughout and gives the reader the feeling that Gulley would be just the person to sit next to in those rockers and listen to for hours on a summer night.
If you are in the need for a pick-me-up, quick and easy read, I highly recommend this book.
Front Porch Tales: Warm-Hearted Stories of Family, Faith, Laughter and Love June 5, 2008
This book's title gives an excellent description of the book. It is a book that I will keep and read over and over. I recently gave a copy to my pastor and have also given copies to a couple of friends. The stories help me to be a better person.

I purchase this book for my elderly parents and listened to them read every night until completed. They thoroughly enjoyed the book and the large-print edition is a bonus.
