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.

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.

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!

I love to read books by Gilbert Morris but I stoped reading this series because it was becoming to repetative. This book should of been the final book! I haven't given up on Morris, I still read his other series.
