of Hearts … The explicit attempts to market Keeper of Hearts as a romance novel may, I suspect, alienate some patrons of Mennonite Life who consider the romance genre too frivolous. Beyond the treatment of Anna's romantic quandary, the book is quite successful as historical Romance. Especially interesting is the treatment of such historical elements as the tension between traditional Catholicism and the new ideas of Anabaptism; the relationship between Reformation giant Martin Luther and the Anabaptists, who on the surface seem so similar but are in reality dread enemies; and the role of the relatively new printing press on Luther's reforms and the emerging German middle class. Mennonite Life, David Sprunger Ample Portions …This emotional powerhouse will reinforce the belief that God is always there to show us the way. The memorable conclusion makes this book worth reading.
