Winds of Change

American Century #5

by Gilbert Morris

The close-knit Stuart clan becomes personally involved in WWII when several members of its younger generation go off to fight. Will and Clint are strongly rooted in their Christian heritage, but Adam’s life has been aimless and bitter. While he fights his toughest battle within himself, he endangers the men under his command. The three cousins’ military exploits take them from the Arkansas hills to the jungles of Guadalcanal, from Hollywood to the forests of Germany. The Stuarts at home lean heavily on faith and family as they pray for their sons. Will the men return safely to the women and families who love them?

This is a beautiful story set during WWII. It illustrates the power of God’s forgiveness and its effect on our ability to forgive others. The varied personalities in the Stuart family are delightful to read about as they navigate tough times and their own spiritual journey, or lack thereof. Clint’s character, in particular, fascinated me in this book.

This series of books is so engaging. Love the Christian content. Finish one and you can't wait to start the next one.

This book is preachy crap. The writing is stunted. The dialogue is wooden and most of a book that's supposed to be about a war is about the bible. I feel misled and pissed off. Never, never, ever will I read another piece of garbage from this crappy writer.

Couldn't Stop Reading

Gilbert Morris is superb at having his "people" presented with such reality you just have to continue their stories until you find out what ha pop pens to your new-found friends. I hate to come to the end of one of his books.

I liked the part about the young pilot...the rest was just so-so.
