A GODLY turnaround

This book is one of Gilbert Morris' best. It shows what God can do for one man and inturn for his family.

Great Author, and Series

I appreciate the good buy and the good shipping on this item. The Morris books are wonderful. I have every one of the Winslow Series, and I am waiting for more to come out. Thank you for offering great products.

Another One for Morris

This is another very enjoyable book in the House of Winslow series. The only thing to think about is that the book is enhanced by knowing the family history, starting with the first H of W book. They are well worth reading.

A Good Book

When I heard that Gilbert Morris was adding another book to the House of Winslow series, I was a little hesitant to pick it up. Because after 23 books I was growing a little weary of this particular series. But my curiosity got the better of me and so I decided to pick it up. I was not disappointed! This is a really good book! It's captivating,thrilling and romantic!! But..... it did remind me of the book, The Scarlet Thread, by Francine Rivers. Although there are major differences it was strangely similar. But I still thought it was a good book, beacuse it was different in its own way. So even if you have read The Scarlet Thread I'd still reccommend this book beacuse its just as good!

Another Wonderful book by Gilbert Morris!

I was again awed at the wonderful work by Gilbert Morris in this 24th book in the House of Winslow series. This series continues to thrill me and make me anxious for the next one. I have read all of these books so far and hope to read the many more Mr. Morris comes out with. Leah decides to marry Stuart Winslow even though her pastor and friends tell her not to. She's a fine Christian, but Stuart has a bad reputation with women. He's too much of a party man and not until it's too late does he realize that. After repeated encounters with his wife (a few years after their married) he goes out to have a good time, which lands him in Tucker Prison. For about 7 years, he endures life behind bars. A few years after being in prison, he comes to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior. When he finally gets out of prison, he realizes how much he's lost and is about to lose. Can he win the trust and respect back of his wife and father and children? And if he does, will the terms of his pardon get in the way? Find out in this thrilling and enchanting new addition to The House of Winslow series! Enjoy! I thouroughly recomend this book!
