Foxe’s Book of Martyrs

From the first-century stoning of Stephen through his own perilous time–Reformation-era England–John Foxe recounts the lives, sufferings, and triumphant deaths of dozens of Christian martyrs. (Some were people of rank and influence. Some were ordinary folk. Some were his friends.) Four centuries later, these deeply moving accounts of faith and courage mark a path for modern Christians to measure the depth of their commitment.
