Classic literature by famous Christian authors. Each book is richly detailed in an upscale package, uniquely designed for gift-giving and for collecting a personal classic library.

Foxe's Book of Martyrs is a record of the protestant martyrs, beginning with Stephen and ending during the reign of Queen Mary. Foxe was an educated martyrologist and was, himself, on the run from persecution for a period of his life. This collection of stories is an inspirational volume of the power of faith.

Foxe's Book of Martyrs is one of those books that everyone should read to understand why Freedom of Religion is so important. Even though it is about Christian martyrs, every religion has had persecution and torture and we, particularly now as our freedoms are slowly being taken away, need to understand, realize, and appreciate the sacrifice so many before have made for their faith.

This particular version is not the original. It has been condensed and rearranged; however, it is easier to understand.
