Foxe's Christian Martyrs of the World (Abridged) Audiobook

" Great Read. Admittedly it has an anti-Roman Catholicism bent. However, for the time it was written that is understandable. This book will challenge you to be bold for your faith and join the great cloud of witnesses who have went before us. "

" A must read for every Christian! "

" My copy pre-dates isbn's, printed in London byJ. Nisbet & Co., around the turn of the last century. "

" Only read the abridged version - very interesting. "

" I would have liked to find out more about what the martyrs believed and why, as opposed to gruesome details of thei imprisonment and deaths. "

" Did not realise how persecuted Christians have been through out history this brings that to light with several hurendous counts of martyrdom. "

" A long but interesting account of many, many, many martyrs - mainly in England during the 1600s under the reign of "Bloody Mary". "

" Though the text has some issues, and the author is purposeful in supporting a Protestant viewpoint, i believe this book should be required reading for young Christians as part of their education. It offers primary accounts of events throughout Christian history in a vivid and memorable fashion. "

" not an easy read, but oh, when you get past the old English, how worth experiencing the depth of love expressed by those willing to give the absolute sacrifice for God--and reading of His unbelievable presence, and at times, deliverance of His beloved. "

" What can I say? It is humbling reading. So glad I read it finally. "

" If you want to read a book that will make you look for a knife to slit your wrists this is the book. Very depressing account of what a people endured for their faith. Not for the weak of stomach. "

" Wow,I sure do have it easy! "

" You can't help but admire the faith of these believers. "

" Written in a sober, readable style, this is interesting both from a historical and a devotional standpoint. From such notables as Anne Askew and Archbishop Thomas Cranmer to anonymous little kids, this is chock-full of powerful stories of people who suffered for their faith. "

" As much as you can "like" this book. I found it inspiring and convicting. "

" one caution for the reader: this is not a history book, but a book of sketches. read accordingly. "

" Every Christian needs to read this book. If you think you suffer now, you don't know anything. "

" I give it a 5 because it is such an emotional book but yet encouraging in your relationship with God. This is sad, encouraging, incredible. The only down side is some of the dryness of the read itself but still deserves a 5. "

" this is one of the toughest books to make it through, unless you just like brutality. "

" Excellent choice of a great book & excellent writer "

" The book is filled with grammatical and spelling errors. It also has some bias in the treatment of the history. Nevertheless, it covers an important and often neglected subject and I would still suggest reading it. "

" The book has a great story to tell but i dont like how i was forced to read it "

" Tough to wade through but definitely worth the time, especially if you are feeling sorry for yourself in your walk with the Lord! "

" It is hard to read some of the things that people went through on account of their faith. It's really quite inspirational and makes one look more closely at their own life and faith - what are we willing to suffer for our faith? "

" some of the texts used to describe the deaths of the early Christians are gnostic gospels from the 4th-8th centuries. Just sayin' "

" We have not resisted unto death - seeing such a cloud of witnesses that have gone before us whom have died for the faith, how can we not serve our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!! "

" How can we not continue to serve Him, with so great a cloud of witnesses that have gone before us. We have not resisted unto death, but many hero's of the faith have done so! Jesus Christ is worth it all!!! "

" Classic book on those who have suffered and paid the ultimate price for following Christ. Excellent reading the story of those who showed courage and conviction for our Lord. "

" A must read for every Christian! "

" Only read the abridged version - very interesting. "

" Read during late 1980s/early 1990s. Inspiring and often graphic account of those who died for the cause of Christ. "

" I give it a 5 because it is such an emotional book but yet encouraging in your relationship with God. This is sad, encouraging, incredible. The only down side is some of the dryness of the read itself but still deserves a 5. "

" Though it's not what I expected, it was definitely a worthy read. Amazing stories of selfless devotion to the Lord and of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. "

" A great book to encourage your faith. A story of people who were truly looking toward their "heavenly" home and rejoiced to be counted worthy to suffer for the name of Jesus Christ. "

" Really inspiring. Found it a little hard to get through because of his writing. "

" Ok so I didn't read it all because it makes me sad, but it's amazing what people will do for faith - I wish I could only be that strong. "

" Excellent choice of a great book & excellent writer "

" I read this today. It is interesting and has a lot of good history on the Martyrdom of Christians. "

" A long but interesting account of many, many, many martyrs - mainly in England during the 1600s under the reign of "Bloody Mary". "
