Gilbert Morris has managed to integrate the guilt of a Yankee toward his war deeds into a journey of self forgiveness and discovery in the EDGE OF HONOR. The opposing emotions of one who is duty bound to fight for his nation , yet honor bound to mininster to the sick and dying is a wrenching study in the strength of character of one human being. To further complicate matters by falling in love with the widow of a casualty of the struggle who happened to be on the opposite side of the fight... well; Could it get any more difficult? Yes, if you were the dealer of the death-blow to said casualty! Magnificent period imagery, heart-tugging interpersonal relations. Gilbert Morris is a fine writer and a very competent historian.

Happened across this book in the bookstore. I have never read any other books by this author, but I was intrigued by the storyline on the book jacket and the time period (I love Civil War era history). I couldn't put this book down (there is life without the internet! ) and finished it in 3 days. Highly recommend this book!

I found this book to be written exceptionaly well. It's nothing less than what Gilbert Morris usually writes. However, it was a bit hard to believe the situation happening, although it definatly could. I found it romantic and enjoyable reading, but give it a four because it didn't give me quite as big a thrill in reading it as most of his other work does. It was however, a wonderful book and I would still highly recomend it for reading. You will go with a northerner as he travels to the south to help out a woman whose husband, he has killed during the end of the Civil War. It was an accident that he killed this man and finds it his responsiblity to care for his wife. So off he sets to help her, but finds love instead. Go with him as he travels to a place that people have made him feel less than welcome. Enjoy your reading!

This book is exciting and one that I had a hard time putting down. Set in the Civil War times it is filled with details of the war and a twisted love story plot. Being an avid reader of Morris' books, I found this to be one of my favorites of his writtings. I would recommend it to anyone!

I found that this book was pretty good. I liked it because I enjoy books about the Civil War and I like almost any book by this author. Once I started reading, it was hard for me to put the book down. If you like fictional books dealing with the post-Civil War era then this is a good book for you.

Gilbert Morris is one of my favorite authors, and IMO, Edge of Honor is one of his best. While perhaps slightly predictable, it is no less engaging, and definitely action packed. The characters, especially Quentin and Eden are deep and well developed; even the children.

But, the book was really enhanced by the crazy character of Ben Calendar and his unexpected story.

Very endearing story...makes me want to float down the Mississippi and look for this farm.

Reading his books are like sitting down with a cup of tea in front of a fireplace and having a heart to heart talk with Dad! All of his books are so interesting, so full of romance, adventure, and depth of character! Edge of honor was superb! The Lord always talks to me through Gilbert Morris writings!

This is about Quentin Larrabee, a young doctor, at the end of the Civil War. Toward the end of the war, he is conscripted into the Union army to serve in a medical unit. During an attack by the Rebs, Quentin accidentally shoots and kills a Confederate soldier who is trying to surrender. Quentin is a kind and honorable man and a Christian, and he is filled with remorse for what he has done. Even though he is engaged to marry the daughter of a well-to-do New York physician and join in his prosperous practice, he decides he must put his future on hold and do all he can to see to the welfare of the dead soldier's family in Arkansas. He travels across the country to see them and is captivated by the widow and her three children. I would read this one again.
