Realmente um clássico, através dessa obra podemos perceber como vários de nossos irmãos e irmãs na fé selaram seu testemunho com sangue. Emocionante em vários momentos da leitura. A única crítica que eu faria é que o livro poderia ser mais sucinto em alguns momentos. Mas sem dúvidas é uma obra que deve ser lida.
Reading the things that these men and women went through bc of their Faith was hard at times as well and astonishing. Couldn't be more proof (to me) of the existence of God. These men and women would not have died for something they didn't truly believe or KNOW to be real. I recommend this to any and all
I loved teaching this book to young high school students. The reaction was nearly universal. They thought it would just be sad and depressing to read about so much death, but they were all encouraged by the joyfulness of such great souls. It is no wonder it has been so beloved for so long.
