Why Death?,
By De Shae (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Martyrs: Contemporary Writers on Modern Lives of Faith (Paperback)
Susan Bergman explores the situations and reasonings behind the baffling fact that some people are not only faced with death for their faith but embrace the possibility.These stories of martyrdom challenge the seeker to ask several questions of him or her self: Was there death valid? What did they die for? Could I have done it? This is a book about self reflection and passion for one's faith. Bergman challenges the reader to review personal beliefs, reaffirm them and throw out frivolous ones. With obvious contemplations, Bergman reveals her own struggles with death by faith and reminds us of the importance of living by it. The struggles with faith in the face of death is the very thing that keeps the faith alive. What an awe inspiring book!
