Martyrs: Contemporary Writers on Modern Lives of Faith

by Susan Bergman (Editor)

Twenty original essays by distinguished contemporary writers trace an indelible portrait of the martyrs of our century, documenting a struggle that has played out across the boundaries of nations and between the realm of culture and the province of the sacred. The stories of these remarkable individuals who chose faith at the cost of life demonstrate that what remains, after the drama of their agonizing deaths, is a legacy of inspiring faith.

[Chris Chase · Rating 3 out of 5]

Since it took me two years to read it, it isn’t the most fascinating book. These are people who died in the 20th century. Some of the essays were outstanding, with a strong religious connection, others drug on forever. I would not be afraid to skip some of the essays altogether.
