John Foxe 
Foxe’s Christian Martyrs 
The Powerful Classic, Abridged and Updated

You’ll be inspired by the ultimate sacrifice of dozens of early followers of Jesus as recorded in the classic history Foxe’s Christian Martyrs. This sixteenth-century book, presented here in an abridged and updated edition, describes the faithful lives and untimely deaths of Christians from the early church era through the reign of Queen Elizabeth in England. Though man’s evil toward man is troubling, the martyrs’ God-given power to rise above their persecution is ultimately uplifting and inspiring. This is a book every Christian should be familiar with!
