5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect book, December 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Honorable Imposter (The House of Winslow #1) (Paperback)

This book is a must read for any Christian that has an interest in historical fiction. My father bought me this book for my birthday along with the other four in the book 1-5 boxed set. I loved it right away. It had adventure, romance, nail-biting, tear-jerking plot twists, and completely accurate historical events tied into the story lines. I got hooked on this book and the Gilbert Morris House of Winslow Series. Before long I had read 22 and am going to buy the 23rd. I only wish there were more in the series. I recommend this book and other historic fiction Gilbert Morris books very strongly.

The Honorable Imposter is the first book of the House of Winslow Series, and it tells the history of the coming of the Pilgrims to the New World. After being hired to find and turn in William Brewster, leader of the Puritans, Gilbert Winslow finds it impossible to turn in the man he has grown to love. He then finds himself unwillingly on the Mayflower headed toward the New World. After running from God, Gilbert finally finds the peace that only God can give. He then discovers his love for a young woman and rejoices in the happiness they find together. Written with a totally historical background, Morris weaves a fictional character into the history of our nation.

This has to be one of my favorite books. The content of the book, historicaly, is amazing. Gilbert Morris must have gone to a lot of trouble to research his book so thoroughly. The trials that Gilbert Winslow experiences are facinating to any reader. The story line of Gilbert and Humility is truly romantic and gives you hope that true love does exist. Gilbert Winslow was a real man that traveled on the Mayflower as well as Humility Cooper and several other characters. However, I do believe that Gilbert went back to England after coming to the New World as well as Humility Cooper. I do not know if the story line between them is a true one, but I don't want to know; I fell in love with them and that is the way I'd like to keep it!
