TCisMESan Leon, TexasAge: 55-65Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5An Overview of Reformation & Reformed IdeasJuly 21, 2013TCisMESan Leon, TexasAge: 55-65Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5This review was written for The Unquenchable Flame: Discovering the Heart of the Reformation.Great book on the Reformation & Reformers who furthered it. I am very knowledgeable on Reformation History & have read many, many Puritan Authors books and yet I still learnt facts I did not know. This is an easy reading overview of the reason for & different views of the Reformers with Catholic Theology and Papist rule. If You do not know the meaning of "Justification by Faith Alone" (ALONE!!!) or Scripture Alone (as GOD's WORD) as the Ultimate authority over ALL manmade rules/Kings/Popes/Theology then this is "A MUST READ". Simple & not Heavy, yet very Meaty. A great starting point for further study of the Reformation History to this present age.

KBCSecAge: 25-345 Stars Out Of 5Fantastic, clear Guide to the ReformationJune 28, 2012KBCSecAge: 25-34Quality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for The Unquenchable Flame: Discovering the Heart of the Reformation.This is a wonderful tool for those curious about church history. With very clear, concise language, this author visits the reformation in every European country affected, from Germany to Scotland, never losing sight of the true theme of the reformation, that salvation is an unmerited, free gift. An idea that rocked the world, then firmly under the authority of the Catholic Church.

Lorraine5 Stars Out Of 5The Unquenchable FlameNovember 27, 2017LorraineQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for The Unquenchable Flame: Discovering the Heart of the Reformation.Really enjoyed the book. A lot of good, well researched material in 192 pages. It was interesting to learn about the many people and events that brought about the Reformation. I could feel the groundswell of change that was sweeping over Europe. I read it as part of a book club, and was surprised how many readers knew little about the Reformation. Some in the group found the "dark side" of church history disturbing while others found it fascinating.

Danielle4 Stars Out Of 5Great introduction!April 30, 2021DanielleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for The Unquenchable Flame: Discovering the Heart of the Reformation.Short and accessible, it's the perfect introduction to someone who doesn't know much about the reformation (like me) Reeves manages to map out all the important figures and events of the reformation in just shy of 200 pges.
It's much more of a casual read rather than one I would have my notebook out taking notes so at times I did find the content a bit too brief. The chronology is also a bit confusing at parts, for example, Zwingli gets martyred but a few paragraphs later, he's alive and well and eating sausages during lent?? I was also sort of surprised at the lack of citations given it's still an academic book, albeit an introduction.
Other than those nitpicks, I love the style it was written in, the humor is delightful. The bit about throwing a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary to be drowned and tried as a witch played out exactly like a scene from Monthy Python in my head.
"Everyone enjoyed that one."
Priceless!
