n 1563 John Foxe had a vision: to record the stories of those who paid the ultimate price for serving Jesus. The fulfillment of that vision — Foxe's Book of Martyrs — has been called the second most important book in history; second only to the Bible itself.

The original Foxe's Book of Martyrs told of horrific suffering and endless courage of Christian martyrs from the days of Christ to the Reformation.

Written in blood about lives of grace, it celebrates the indomitable human spirit that arises in love against tyranny and torture. More than a book, it is every Christian's heritage of courage.

There are more martyrs' stories to be told, however, and more lives to be celebrated. So the Voice of the Martyrs, co-authors of the bestseller Jesus Freaks, has brought forth Foxe, Voices of the Martyrs, the most up-to-date collection of Christian martyrs since the days of John Foxe.

This updated and extensively expanded edition of Foxe's original book by The Voice of the Martyrs, contains stories of persecution from 33 A.D. to today.

  Stories of heroic courage and overcoming faith.

  Stories of love of God and Christ.

  Stories of the amazing grace of God that enabled men, women, and children to endure persecutions and often horrible deaths.

There has never been another book like Foxe, Voices of the Martyrs. It is the most knowledgeable, informative, and complete book ever published about Christian martyrs.
