| The Story of Seventeen Centuriesof Christian Martyrdom, From the Time of Chrsit to A.D. 1660
"Classic
graphic accounts of more than 4,000 Christians who endured suffering,
torture, and a martyr’s death because of their simple faith in the
gospel of Christ. Includes more than 50 finely detailed etchings by
noted Dutch artist Jan Luyken.
Songs, letters, prayers,
and confessions appear with the stories of many “defenseless
Christians” who were able to love their enemies and return
good for evil.
This gigantic book calls believers to follow Jesus in all areas of
life, even unto death. Come what may, true Christian commitment demands
supreme discipleship and steadfast adherence to the teachings modeled
by Jesus and his apostles."
