Signs and Wonders – Philip Gulley
3***

Book three in the Harmony series looks at a year in the life of the Quaker community’s residents. Familiar characters are back. Dale Hinshaw has a new Salvation Balloons project. Deena struggles with being alone and the Friendly Women are determined to find her a husband. Pastor Sam Gardner is overworked and still can’t say no to his flock, even to accompany his wife, Barbara, when she wins a trip to the Caribbean.

I just love this series. Each book gives us a glimpse of all the good – and not so good – in human nature, but with the hope that the good will outweigh the bad. There are several laugh-out-loud moments (Dale’s Furnace Committee members telling him that his secret is safe with them, for example), and a few tender scenes that simply lift my heart. While Sam is a minister, he is never preachy when imparting wisdom.

These books are a perfect break from the stresses of life, and a reminder that there is much good in this world.
