Review

Mennonite Soldier is one of those novels that portray the tragedies that befall persons who for generations have lived in small and fairly secure communities. When they are catapulted into the larger world, especially in wartime, their plight is a hard one. . . This novel helps the reader understand the significance of World War I as a great watershed in Twentieth Century Mennonite history. --Grant M. Stoltzfus, Professor of Church History, Eastern Mennonite College

Guaranteed, Mennonite Soldier will dog you . . . It's the story of two prodigal sons, clothed in Mennonite tradition: one driven home at last; the other driven away at last, with the whys left up to you. . . . The story is rhythmic, intense, suspenseful . . . Reed catches well the sometimes evasiveness of faith when one most intends to practice it, here in the lives of two young brothers, their worried parents and lonely girlfriends. --Phyllis Pellman Good, "Festival Quarterly"
