Really convicting and powerful read...like most things by VOM...

Another good book from Voice of the Martyrs, this one covering what VOM calls the eight defining qualities of living / having heroic faith. In short chapters, the book covers qualities like endurance, love of God's word, and more.
Overall, a great little resource to remind and teach us that Jesus wasn't kidding when He said we will have trouble, and to give us some insights into dealing with that truth in the modern age.
My only question was the price for the book. $12.99 seemed a bit much for a small book, even though it does have those fancy page ends and such to make it look like an old tome of some kind. I bought mine at a used bookstore for $4.50.

"Obedience is not a gift or a God inspired trait. It is a choice that we must make every day. Obedience contains no "ifs". When obedience leads to trouble, a hero has the faith to know who will lead him or her safely through the trouble. Heroic Christians do not have to be brave or fearless; they have to believe God and then act on that belief with obedience, totally depending on Him."

Half of the chapters are slow and boring, and the other half are interesting. This was a good Bible study book, with lots of things to discuss.

I've discovered Voice of the Martyrs this year and have been delving into their publications and learning more about persecuted Christians worldwide. This book was an excellent, powerful read.
The chapters cover the topics of perspective, dependence on God, love of God's word, courage, endurance, obedience, self-control and love. Each is full of testimony and experiences of martyrs, missionaries and agents for Christ around the world. At it's core, this book is how to live like Jesus and truly serve people. I was moved and inspired by each story and confronted by my own failures, sins and the ways I don't measure up to what God has called each of us to do in this world. I highly recommend this book, which can be found on Hoopla as well as in physical and ebook form elsewhere.
