At the Home of Anita O
Selection: Home to Harmony by Philip Gully
After delving into the life of a Somalian Muslim in Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s biography, Infidel, we now enter into the life of small town USA named Harmony, Indiana, The town's characters include the wise Quaker pastor who narrates the book; a childless couple who spend their life savings (and then some) to wrest their niece from the grip of her alcoholic parents; and the narrow-minded church elder who "knew just enough Scripture to be annoying, but not enough to be transformed." (excerpt from a book review on Amazon.com)
Author and storyteller, Walt Wangerin, in his radio broadcast on Lutheran Vespers once said, “Here is a true story I just made up.” Home to Harmony may be light-hearted fiction but there are some very truthful gems hidden within its pages. Come, explore, and share together the many insights of God.
