I read the last parts of "Martyrs Mirror" it can alter the course of anyones faith, whether one is very religious or not. Other than the Amish and Mennonite people around Minnesota, I have never known anyone who has read this stirring book through and through. Even among the Baptists, I have met no one who has read it through completely. If I could, I would recommend the last few chapters to be the best part. It is within the confines of these last chapters, the long letters written from various prisons, that one will uncover perfect gems, like the testimonies of those waiting to be burned, to their friends and relatives. Martyr's Mirror is a phenomenal work of Christian orthodox literature, written out of love, because of love, with the bottom line, (that to kill someone because of their faith is a sin.)
Thanks for the recommendation of "Martyrs Mirror."
Because God guided me to this thread this morning, I will order the book, read it and be strengthened by the righteous testimonies of martyred saints.
As God wills.
My grandfather was Amish.
The Martyr's Mirror was always kept right beside the Bible. It is a very important book in my heritage.
