NOVEL:EDGE OF HONOR

EDGE OF HONOR BY GILBERT MORRIS.
     
Honor and forgiveness  


Hi guys,welcome back to novels and movies Christian. It's always a pleasure to have you here.
In this book you will meet Quentin,Eden,Hannah,Calender and a host of others that will take you through life during American civil war 
; the battle between  the north (Yankees) and southern's that left the country in a state of chaos,devastation,fallen economy, and  the people angry,full of hate,bitter and in abject poverty mostly for soldiers families of whom their breadwinner has either been injured greatly in battle,missing or worse still dead.
 In the events of  everyone  trying to pull what's left of the devastation to forge ahead.
Here comes Quentin a Doctor.
Who served for a short time as an  army doctor during the war and  in a sequel of some unfortunate  happenings  mistakenly killed a man. Now get this ,he (Quentin ) is a man who has sworn to save lives, and here is he taking one ,you can imagine the toll it had on him, on his job and inadvertently on the family of the deceased who have lost their breadwinner.

Has your appetite been stirred enough?
Ok maybe  just a little more.

He travels across to the "enemy " land to confess and make restitution to the family of the deceased, try to  imagine how that plays out!
  Also included in this already tensed happenings is a mad man,a crippled, some handicaps(talk about an intresting  drama ).Makes you wonder how such people  will rebuild the ruins and make things right.
Just go and read and see something.

Points to note 
1. For whatever profession we've been called into,God's  purpose extends there too.There is work that he will have us do there .
2. Irrespective of our disabilities,physical and otherwise we all have a part in God's  great plan,we are all important to him.
3.war is bad,its horrible,devastating ,no one should have to experience that but hatred, bitterness in our souls is even worse,it can wreck more havoc than any war.
4. There is nothing,  absolutely nothing that God cannot make beautiful again,give him the broken pieces of your life and watch him make your life a wonder.
5. In any situation do  the honourable thing by God.

I do hope we read this novel,more than that I pray we open our hearts to the promptings of God as we read.

Dont forget to share lessons and other comments,God bless you .
