The Savannah Disputation
by Evan Smith
The Savannah Disputation
by Evan SmithThe Catholic faith of two elderly sisters is rocked after a visit from a young evangelist.
To fight back, the women invite the missionary and their unsuspecting parish priest to a truly devilish dinner party, where they stage a theological showdown in this all-out questioning of religious faith and belief.
...savagely funny
