The
Prize Winning Story
By Ken Yoder Reed
In the words of Vladdy, the freewheeling talk
show host and main character of the novel:
“ I’m just an ex-hippie who loves
the Messiah and his people, the Jews . . .
leading my 15th tour of the Holy Land. Which
turns out to be a tour like no other. First
off, I land Major Eli, a Jew-Jew--he practices,
eats kosher--and he’s Israel’s
top counter-terrorist, as our licensed guide
around Israel. The story-telling contest and
$5,000 prize? That’s Eli’s idea.
My pilgrims bubble up wonderful stories!
But for the first time, the Palestinians trouble
me. ‘What about the Palestinians?’
It drives a wedge between me and my friend.
Where did Eli disappear to? The TV headlines
coming out of the violent Gaza Strip—could
that be Eli?”

He
Flew Too High
By Ken Yoder Reed
Saul MacNamara believes God is telling him his
work is evil. He leaves his career as a Korean
War nuclear bombing strategist with moral support
from the Mennonites and Bishop Krehbiel, their
leader. He marries the Bishop's daughter and
falls in love with her pacifist Mennonite community.
However, Saul quickly grows disillusioned because
he believes 1950s prosperity has lulled the
Mennonites into a dangerous sleep. He'll lead
a mighty revival of their faith and values and
prevent the community's otherwise certain destruction.
But the bishop draws a line in the sand against
the unauthorized meetings and reforms. If Saul
steps across, will he lose this community? His
wife and family? Even the voice of God in his
life? He Flew Too High tells the story of one
man's quest to bring an awakening to a reluctant
people. If you like suspense stories with a
strong spiritual undercurrent such as The Shack
or This Present Darkness, this book is for you!

Mennonite
Soldier
By Ken Yoder Reed
Mastie and Ira Stoltzfus, Mennonite brothers
in Lancaster, Pa., face the draft in World
War I. Ira chooses the traditional Mennonite
position of conscientious objection to war.
Mastie, on the other hand, joins the Army
and is excommunicated from the church. As
the story shifts back and forth between Ira
and Mastie, you will be caught up in a powerful
examination of love and war, duty and conscience,
and the starkly different experiences of two
boys from the same Mennonite home. This classic
retelling of the prodigal son story set in
World War I America includes a thoughtful
foreword essay on Mennonites and the military
by Professor Joel Hartman of the University
of Missouri. Reprinted so a whole new generation
can enjoy!
