Their amazing stories are told in By Their Blood, a modern continuation of the classic Foxe's Book of Martyrs. Some stories are well known: John and Betty Stam were beheaded by an antiforeign mob: Jim Elliot and four others were slain by Auca Indians in Ecuador. But countless other stories are less known, though equally dramatic and soul stirring. From accounts of torture behind the Iron Curtain to massacres in sub-Saharan Africa, here is a montage of those who have given their lives for the cause of Christ in the last century. This new edition of the Gold Medallion winner is thoroughly updated to include the stories of Christian martyrs up to the present day.

[Tyrone Harbert · Rating 5 out of 5]

An great read for those who think the death and persecution of christians ended at Rome!

The accounts of these Christian martyrs are so encouraging! I as a Christian have nothing to fear! What can man do to me?

[Rachel Grepke · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jump into this book and take a journey from all the corners (almost) of the earth and witness what faith in action looks like. This is basically an updated version of Foxes Book of Martyrs years ago. While you know this is a book about people laying down their lives for Jesus, many of the accounts and deaths will have you aghast. Powerful, hurtful and encouraging, this book is one to remember.

[Nicole · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a good reminder that loving God and being loved by Him does not mean the absence of suffering. It also raises the question of what it means to be a martyr. Are martyrs only those who choose death over verbally denying their faith or are they those who for love of God and love of souls find death in foreign lands?

[David Hunt · Rating 4 out of 5]

A truly stirring book, recounting the sufferings and martyrdom of many Christians throughout the 20th Century. Highly recommend.
