About the Author
John Foxe (1516–1587), born at Boston, Lincolnshire, England, was a devout and scholarly boy. He attended Brasenose College, Oxford and then Magdalen College where he held a fellowship for seven years. While a student, Foxe became known for his scholarly wisdom and piety and could have led a quiet and successful life; becoming aware of certain spiritual truths, however, Foxe embraced Protestantism. In 1545, he resigned his fellowship at the university and become a tutor for the Lucy family of Warwickshire. Shortly thereafter, he married Agnes Randall of Conventry. John Foxe worked for the Reformation, writing tracts and beginning his famous history of the persecutions and martyrdoms in England from John Wycliffe through the early 1500s. When staunch Roman Catholic Queen Mary took the throne in 1553, Foxe and his family fled England for the continent in fear for their lives. There he continued working on his manuscript, which was eventually published in 1563 as The Acts and Monuments of These Latter and Perilous Days. Foxe continued laboring on his work until his death in 1587.

I love this book. This updated version is so easy to read, which helps me focus on the intense content. It is a challenging read, but well worth it. It is an encouragement and inspiration to Christians. It shows that we come from a long line of saints that were brutally persecuted for their faith. We need to remember that Christ did not offer us a life without suffering, but the promise of an afterlife with no suffering in Him. I am so thankful for this book.

I've just started reading this book and I know that it's going to change my life. I am so thankful the accounts of precious lives of my brothers and sisters in Christ being recorded and in one book.
I appreciate the accuracy of the retelling of their stories. I also appreciate the amount of work the editor put into this book to make it easier to read (language-wise) and for updating it so it includes modern-day accounts of incredible believers.
Incredibly encouraging, heartbreaking, and sobering. Every Christian really needs to read this.

Showing us what true, faithful, sold out Christians did by dying for Jesus name sake. It is sobering to think these people loved Him so much they were willing to die for Him like He did for us. Praise the Lord! It is convicting because I wonder what if we come to this, will I be ready?!

Besides the Bible, this is one of the classics of the Christian Faith. If you love Christ and His people, you'll find yourself praying for the Martyrs.
They are still out there, and we will be. The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Faith. God bless our persecuted brethren!

If you feel like you just can't handle the stress and struggles of every day life, get this book, read a few chapters, and reassess you life in comparison to the martyrs listed in this book.
This is an excellent book to help both the beginner and most devout Christians.

This book was very informative, If all that was said is the truth it shows how much we have forgotten, and once you forget the past you would live to repeat it.. This book therefore taught me that we are heading back to where we came from where people will die for their belief at the hand of dictators and those who hold money and power..

As much as I was looking forward to reading this book, pages of the book keep coming apart from the spine. Maybe I can put a tiny bit of glue...but this is very disappointing. I've almost finished this book and I'm amazed at the faith of so many Christians. Looking at the past with 21st century freedom eyes, makes me so appreciative of these martyrs, and my growing faith in my Savior Jesus Christ. Bless all those who have given their testimony and their lives!!

I've been really blessed to read through these writings of the church history and the persecutions, I feel like it has really strengthened my faith more and I value this book very much. It shows that those believers who were martyred certainly didn't die in vain, the real church became stronger because of such sacrifices that the early church made for us to even have the scriptures to be read today.

This book is an excellent read. It is an eye opener and should make you realise that people suffered and still do for the Word of God and the name of Jesus.
