Reviews

""Amy Mantravadi brings the attentiveness of a true lover and the circumspection of a generous critic to this imaginative retelling of some of the most dramatic events in church history. Written in a natural, authentic style befitting both the times in which these events take place and our own era, Face to Face gives life to doctrinal disputes that changed history and to the historical figures who wrestled with these questions with their words, with each other, and with their very lives. This is a novel for anyone who loves church history and well-crafted stories."" - Karen Swallow Prior, Ph.D, author of The Evangelical Imagination: How Stories, Images, and Metaphors Created a Culture in Crisis ""Despite reading biographies on both Luther and Erasmus, for me, these men have always been more theological concepts than actual people. This book will thrust you into all of the drama, emotion and tension of that central debate of the Reformation: the freedom or bondage of the human will. Amy with imagination and creativity has made Luther, Erasmus, Melanchthon, and a whole host of other great figures of Reformation History, into actual people with whom I can relate. Once picked up, this book is impossible to put down, and I most certainly will never read The Bondage of the Will the same way again."" - The Reverend Jacob A. Smith, Rector, Calvary-St. George's Episcopal Church (New York, New York)
