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.

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!

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.

This was a great book full of surprises from start to finish. Keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout for reasons I won't elaborate on to avoid spoiling alot of the story line surprises. I loved it from page 1 on and found myself reading well into the early morning hours without even realizing it. The Gentle Rebel will surprise you with the twists and turns the author builds into this great story line while staying true to the history of this part of the series. I give it my highest recommendation!!!

This book was excellent! Gilbert Morris is one of my favorite
authors, and this book is a fine example of his work. I love Gilbert Morris's work may be historical fiction, but he has a
way of tying his characters into situations that really did
happen. I am a little sorry to see this story end, and I am glad to know that there are more books in the sequel of this
wonderful and amazing family.

In this book we meet Nathan Winslow, Adam Winslow's oldest son, who does not believe that the states should rebel against England, while his younger brother and his father feels differently. Through certain circumstances Nathan's loyalty changes and he becomes somewhat of a spy for the colonies.

We also meet Julie Simpson a young lady that has had a rough time of it. After her father passes away she is left in the hands of her uncle, who has certain plans for her. To solve her problems she leans towards unconventional means, she disguises herself as a man. This is when Nathan meets Julie or as she calls herself Laddie. Nathan and Laddie became fast friends.

Gilbert Morris takes us from the Lexington green, to Bunker Hill, and eventually to Fort Ticonderoga. I really enjoy the fact that his books are one big history lesson in a single book. Pretty good book overall.

The House of Winslow series is one of the best out . The Gentle Rebel is about a young man named Nathan and his fight for freedom. It is also about a young girl named Julie who has more then a few problems of her own. They are brought together by God. In this book they both learn to love and trust him with their hearts. I loved this book and cant wait to read the next one in the series.
