    <body><![CDATA[This was my first introduction to Philip Gulley and his &quot;Harmony&quot; series. Loved it! Hope to read many, many more. There's something like eight in the collection.<br/><br/>How I understand how they came to be was that Paul Harvey of NPR got a hold of one of the newsletters that Gulley wro...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37011467">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another great book in the Harmony series (actually, it's the first book). I really can't say how much I enjoy this series. In fact, everything I've read by <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q=Philip Gulley" title="Philip Gulley">Philip Gulley</a> has been beyond my expectations.]]></body>
