The House of Winslow series is a fine group of books that delve into the lives of the Winslow family. Beginning with Gilbert Winslow on the Mayflower all the way through the Civil War and World War II, Gilbert Morris paints a believable picture of the American landscape through generation upon generation of Winslow clan. Although his books are fairly predictable, he is able to keep you on the edge of your seat all the while filing interesting historical facts into the recesses of your mind. Each book tells the story of a particular member of the Winslow family and their struggle in life. The Winslow generation tends to have a few black sheep and stubborn streaks among its people so often they find themselves in precarious positions subsequently finding themselves on their faces before a loving God. A true romantic, the novels of Gilbert Morris have you rooting on the sidelines for true love and true forgiveness. You will not be disappointed if you choose to dive into these historical Christian novels. Peppered with humor, true events, and bad choices leading to redemption, Morris takes you on a pleasurable reading ride. After you’re done with the book you’re ready to buy a ticket for a ride on the next adventure in the series to see what the Winslow clan is capable of. Be it fighting in wars, starring in movies, settling the west, panning for gold, or becoming missionaries in far away Africa, the Winslow clan keeps you wondering, believing, cheering, and groaning as they live out their lives in the pages laid out before you by a wonderfully creative Morris in the 40 book series. With over 2,000,000 copies sold in the House of Winslow series alone, it is no wonder that Morris creates pure reading pleasure.
