To order this product:
I am constantly struck by Paul’s words in the letter to the Philippians in that Christians are to magnify Christ whether in life or in death (Philippians 1:20-21). John Foxe put together an interesting account of those Christians that stood firm in their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, even to the point of death. I have found this book rather convicting personally and encouraging at the same time.
Outside of the Bible itself, the works of John Foxe were the most readily available writings of the 16th century. These amazing stories of faith and courage in the face of terrible persecution inspire perseverance in all circumstances.
John Foxe
John Foxe (1516-1587) was a professor at Oxford, then a minister in London before being forced to flee to Europe when Queen Mary came to power. While in Europe he wrote this classic and published it after returning to England when Queen Elizabeth took the throne.
