Book Description
Personal narratives are powerful instruments for teaching, both for conveying information and for forming character. The martyrdom accounts preserved in the literature of early Christianity are especially intense and dramatic. However, these narratives are not readily available and are often written in intimidating prose, making them largely inaccessible for the average reader. This introductory text brings together key early Christian martyrdom stories in a single volume, offering new, easy-to-read translations and expert commentary. An introduction and explanatory notes accompany each translation. The book not only provides a vivid window into the world of early Christianity but also offers spiritual encouragement and inspiration for Christian life today.

Pages : 530
Book Description
What would you do for the cross of Christ? For two thousand years, Christians have courageously triumphed over beatings, stonings, burnings, wild beasts, and every form of evil to boldly proclaim one truth: the name of Jesus. Voices of the Martyrs AD 33 – Today is their story and your Christian heritage. In the 16th century, English preacher John Foxe created what would later be called the “second most important book in history” after the Bible: Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. With dozens of images, modernized English, and up-to-date accounts, Foxe: Voices of the Martyrs faithfully binds the testimonies of more than 50 of Foxe’s heroes from the Early Church to the Reformation with Christians in the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, and through the twentieth century. More importantly, Foxe: Voices of the Martyrs unites past Christians with believers today. Building on over fifty years of ministry to persecuted Christians, The Voice of the Martyrs organization shares sixty-seven stories of Christians who have stood faithfully to the death since 2000. Their courage in the face of ISIS and the Taliban, brutal dictatorships, and government crackdowns will inspire you to boldness and remind you that the same Spirit of Christ Who strengthened Stephen, Peter, and Paul is at work in you today.

Christian Martyrs for a Muslim People
Author: Martin McGee
Publisher: Paulist Press
ISBN: 9780809145393
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
In the mid-1990s, a fundamentalist Islamist organization gave an ultimatum to all "foreigners" in Algeria: depart or die. This book tells the story of nineteen priests and religious sisters, including seven Trappist monks, who courageously chose to stay in Algeria and who ultimately paid for their dedication with their lives. Drawing on letters, journals, and his own interviews with people who knew the nineteen religious, Fr. Martin McGee shows how these men and women gave witness to Christ through their actions, winning the love of the Algerian people-a love that did not cease with their deaths-without ever attempting to make converts. This is not only a very timely story of hope for those seeking reconciliation between Christians and Muslims, but also a testimony of courage and selflessness that will inspire all people who wish to transcend denominational differences and come together in a spirit of loving respect and understanding. Book jacket.
