very good read

This book describes the Christianity that my wife and I have experienced in our walk with the Lord Jesus Christ (Y'shua Hamashiach)

Great Addition

We continue the saga of the Winslow family in this book where the family expands their adventures to Africa with Barney Winslow, Mark and Lola's son from a previous book. Barney left his family's home and is fighting for a living. Through unfortunate circumstances Barney ends up in prison. We also meet Katie Sullivan who is struggling with a singing career when she first meets Barney and his family. When her boss uses her for what he considers her worth he demotes her. Instead of staying with him, she leaves and finds a lowly job. What will life hand Katie after all these disappointments? Once out of prison Barney turns his life around and like in the Bible the prodigal returns and Barney becomes what Mark and Lola always hoped. He is born again and becomes a missionary in the lower end of the city. Soon a missionary from Africa comes and introduces the idea of going to Africa as a missionary. Will the people from the mission venture to Africa? I really enjoyed this book. It takes us into the depths of Africa, while introduces us to witch doctors and the struggles that missionaries face. Great addition to the House of Winslow series!

Still the Best

After having read up to #29, I just reread "The Final Adversary", and it is still the Best of the House of Winslow series in my book.

AWESOME!!!

This is one of the best books in the series! I just got it yesterday and I've already finished it. Gilbert Morris is one of the best fiction writers around today.
