A great book of the faith! When satan tries to silence the church, it grows stronger. This book is a great blessing! It causes us to realise that a great price has been paid by saints of the past! We have no idea today in America the horrible persecution that the church has faced. Satan has tried to put the church "out of business" but as these real lives have proven as persecution is faced, God gives grace for us to not give up and back down even when you are staring adversity in the face! Satan is a roaring lion, he is walking about, seeking whom he may devour.
You will not regret a moment of reading this book! It is very thought provoking...wold we stand up for Christ's Name if we were in these situations? If we had to face them, He would give us the grace to go thru it! Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, the life!

This is a classic that should be required reading for all Americans as these Christian beliefs is what Americans held deeply at the forming of our nation. Christianity has much changed since these days which is sad, but these many many Christians loves Jesus so much they held their head up and went to their death in the most horrific of way, many times singing and praising God. If only some in America still had what these martyrs did! It's an eye opener as the the crusades and so many people like to say Christians committed these murders but The Catholic Church killed these God loving Christians. Great book to open the eyes as to who and what the Catholic Church is at the top.

Important but distressing

I confess that I have not read the complete book. Reading about so many Christians martyred in so many cruel ways was too distressing to sit down and read it all. I have read sections of it at different times and will continue to do so periodically. I always wonder if I would have the courage to face such horrific death as so many of these martyrs did.

Buyer beware- this is abridged and incomplete. I bought specifically to read the account of Lady Jane Grey and it isn't even included. Returning.

Foxe's Book of Martyrs is a great book, but this is an edited version that does not always follow the original. This edition is much more difficult to read than many others available.

Excellent for reviewing what your Christian heritage had to pay for our freedom to worship . Most of these martyrs, were killed by the Catholic Church, which is downplayed in the book. I wonder if its been edited out, or if Foxe himself did that.

This is not Fox’s book of Martyrs

The connected file is not in fact Fox’s book of Martyrs. This ebook contains almost nothing of his book and focus much more fully on the era after John Fox’s death.Read more

This is an awesome book! Been meaning to read it for years.
