Publisher's summary

Would you suffer persecution, poverty, and prison for Christ?

Would you endure cruel tortures that take your mind and body to the brink of death and beyond?

Would you watch your children suffering for their faith and urge them to remain faithful to Christ?

Would you endure inhuman tortures and "hold fast the profession of your faith without wavering" (Hebrews 10:23)?

Would you stand boldly and without shame and confess Christ as your Lord, to your own and to your family's peril?

Two thousand years of martyrs.

For nearly 2000 years, courageous men and women have been tortured and killed because of their confessions of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

The New Foxe's Book of Martyrs tells their stories. Stories of heroic courage and overcoming faith. Stories of love of God and Christ. Stories of the amazing grace of God that enabled men, women, and children to endure persecutions and often horrible deaths.

Foxe's last revision in 1570.

Foxe's last revision of his Book of Martyrs was in 1570. In the 18th century others added to his book. But Christians have continued to be persecuted and martyred every year since then. More Christians were martyred in this century alone than in all the past centuries combined.

The New Foxe's Book of Martyrs tells their stories from A.D. 37 to 1997 in modern English, and includes new historical data that clarifies and harmonizes people, places, and times.

The New Foxe's Book of Martyrs is the most up–to–date version of Foxe's book ever published. It is essential listening for the study of Christian persecution in Foxe's day and in ours.

Praise God for Jesus Christ. The book is powerful

Five stars. Every Christian should read it and have a copy in their library. Amen !

Strength For All True Christians

This wonderful collection of stories will horrify you from the unbelievable atrocities committed against the body of Christ but will strengthen a Christian even more. I'm on my third read now and it's always a source of strength. The narrator Tim Côté delivers this with a voice that brings the stories back to life. It was so influential that it helped me write a song on the persecutions from Christ to his apostles. Titled the Fire For The Cause on iTunes and others.

Praise God!

God is good! One day every knee will bow… Isaiah 45:23; Romans 14:11; Philippians 2:10

Amazing - HIGHLY Recommend

The Acts of the apostles continues.
every Christian needs to read or listen to this book.
we need to know what our brothers and sisters went through and what Christianity is really all about and how powerful are the words of Jesus Christ when He said in Matthew‬ ‭16:18‬ "I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it".
this book is proof of that.
very enjoyable and not boring narrator.
story is very well put together. I can't say enough how good this book is.

Must Read For Diciples, Narrator kinda monotone

I found it really encouraging although I thought the narrator did not get into the story as much as he could.

Courage of the persecuted

I am in awe of those believers who suffered for their faith. words fail me.

Great book, very troubling and sad. Christ is tho.

love the book. Christ is the king of kings.
I would die for him. we need to pray for our brother and sisters in Christ

amazing

so much needed for the 21st century Christian here in the western part of ameeica. edifying emboldening and strengthening the body of Christ. for those that think the lord will rapture you seven years before this comes here to the states. think again and prepare your self to stand those that don't will fall. take heed in love brothers and sisters.

Outstanding book

I had been hearing that everyone must read this book. While it’s difficult to hear all the details, it was an outstanding book. Everyone truly does need to read it to remind us to share our faith in Jesus even if it costs us our lives.

Every true Christian should read!

Many of the atrocities that the early church went through have been long forgotten and many christians these days hail themselves as christians, but I fear these followers would not have the faith and endurance that these steadfast believers had before them. I feel it is a tragedy that many christians do not know what their forefathers of their faith went through just so they could read the word of God and know that they can have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I feel this should be necessary reading for every Christian so they will to know what these men and women did for their faith and for their future generations. I also believe this book is necessary to help encourage us as well. We see persecution increasing against christians in this day and time and I know that we will once again see christians being martyred for their faith especially in America and the church needs to be prepared for that. At this very moment, I feel is very in adequately prepared to deal with such horrors.
