The Pilgrim Song: 1929

The House of Winslow #29

by Gilbert Morris

Like wayfarers before them in a foreign land, they learn to sing... Lewis Winslow has money, a large fancy house, and a bright future in business, but he's lost his beloved wife and now fears he is losing his children as well. Josh seeks one thrill after another, while Jenny finds her excitement at society parties. Kat, an all-out tomboy, is living in her own world, and Hannah has become a recluse. Their father isn't sure what to do about any of them. When the stock market crash robs the Winslows of the material comforts they have enjoyed, will they unite as a family? Lliving in poverty is like living in a foreign land for this Winslow family. The strength of their faith will determine whether they thrive�or merely survive�in the face of unfamiliar and fearsome hardship.

Incredible book! One of the best in the series.
I couldn’t have read it at a better time, with the country being in the exact same boat just 100 years in the future. I wish everyone would read this right now and maybe the world could go back to normal.

I inherited most of this series from a friend, and have been reading through it over a number of years, and passing the books on as I finish them. Some books I've liked better than others. This one was definitely not a favorite. Some of the main characters I just didn't care for, whether it was immoral behavior, weak leadership, or unbiblical theology. (There were a few solid, steady characters in the mix.) I would give this 2 1/2 stars if I could.

Lewis Winslow loses everything in the stock market and with the help of Clint, takes his children South to an inherited house. Kat, Hannah, Josh, and Jenny learn to work and support each other.

Generally, I quite liked the book.


It was quite interesting to see most of the family members get their own arcs - many of which ended up surprising me.

This is a good book where the wealthy Lewis Winslow loses everything and rediscovers his family when he moves them to his late wife's family place in South Georgia away from the tempations of New York City.

[Rachel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series by Gilbert Morris is one of my absolute favorites. Each book follows at least one member of a generation in the Winslow family tree and the member(s) gets saved and finds true love. There's also some commentary on the social conditions of the time frame. Truly interesting.
