Great Book

This book was wonderful. It takes you through the adventures of Nathan Winslow and the beginning of the Revolutionary war. I loved the way it made me feel like I was right there experiencing it.

The House of the Winslows Lives On!

Have you read The Gentle Rebel? Well if you haven't you should! In this book the author, Gilbert Morris, continues the House of Winslow series to the American Revolution. The great-great-grandson of Gilbert Winslow, Nathan learns what the real meaning of love is, and that sometimes love can hurt. When Nathan's younger brother Caleb was killed at Concord, he makes a vow to his brother to fight on the American side. The only problem is that Nathan is in love with the beautiful Abigal Howland a spoiled Tory, who is on the British side. Nathan very quickly befriends Laddie Smith, Caleb's friend. Laddie and Nathan bond and together they join the colonists. When Laddie is shot and taken to the home of some Quakers, who learn of 'his' deep, dark secret and of his past the whole book turns around. I liked this book because I love Morris' novels, historical, and romantic, religious books. This is a must read book! If read with the rest of the series, it will make the whole story even better. If you love romantic, historical, and slightly religious books, than this book is for you! Gilbert Morris make you feel like you are there with the characters seeing everything first hand. You must read The Gentle Rebel!

Loved it!

I fell in love the first time I read it!However this book is not about the Civil War. It deals with the Revolutionary War, my absolute favorite time period. It shows all the excitment I have always love. A young woman forced to hide her actual sex so she isn't found by her greedy uncle falls in love with a man who a spy for the Rebels. The problem is that he is in love with a rich and beatiful Tory, and he has no idea Julie is a woman. The plot thickens when an ex-quaker, Daniel, discovers her secret and falls in love Julie and Julie's uncle has found her and is determined to take her home and force her to marry him so he can have full possion of her fathers business. Sound unbelieveable? Well, Gilbert Morris can write books that will get you to believe anything, including God's control over our lives. As soon as I finished this book I imedintly read it again and have done so many time after. I recomend it to any one who has love for God, history, and the immpossible. Once you start on this series it's impossible not to be hooked and follow this family through the 17 hundreds till, as the last book is now anyway, World War One. I'm kinda rambling on but this book instantly became my all time favorite and has continued to be to this day. It'll make you proud to be an American and one of God's loved creations.
