One of my favs

Came quick and in great condition

Heart Changing Book

I read this along time ago, and then lent it to a friend who never returned it. Probably because it was just too good! Anyways, reading this book has really challenged how I think and act, and truthfully, these martyrs' actions speak louder than words although they were equally striking. In addition, I bought this for my youth group to encourage them to become more confident in their faith.

Jesus Freaks: Martyrs

I love this book. It helps me to live in the conscious awareness of my blessings. Be prepared to be moved.

True believers

Great book. My 10 year old son requested it. The stories are graphic and painful to read, but the courage and testimony of these martyrs is REAL and there are lessons for all of us, especially those of us who are Christian.

One of the Best Books I Have EVER Read

Ok. So normally I am an avid reader, but there are few nonfiction books that really grasp my interest and hold it. My sister bought this book for me as a Christmas/birthday gift and I devouered it (literally!). It has stories in it about Christians from the past 2000 years up until the present day who have been persecuted for their faith. It has really encouraged me to live the way that they do.

To Fear God is Knowlege

The book Jesus Freaks Volume 2 by DC Talk is phenomenal. This book displays other people stories of how they stood steadfast in God. The stories aren't all there is to this book, there is more than these amazing stories. Jesus Freaks Volume 2 is a spirit reviver. This book is nothing short of a quality must have book. Martyrs and people who change the world around them give the reader a sense of how great is the over all missions laid before us. In one particular story it touched me, how people my own age (13,14,15) were tortured and yet stayed jubilant through it all. They were crucified because the prosecutors yelled, " Kill them as their Lord had died!" They realized that soon there were to be in the kingdom of their father, and their death would become the seed for another life in Christ. There are many more touching stories to read and enjoy in this book. Behind the stories there is more for the soul to soak up. There are steps on how to become a revolutionary. On top of that there is a Brief history on of M martyrdom and Christianity. A certain page between this has a list of world changing organizations. After that there is end notes, further information, and an index. This book is full of facts for this non-fiction book. In between the life-changing stories there are bible scriptures that go along the line of the story. And other words of other steadfast Christians. DC talk had input on every story too. This book is meet to be all about the truth. This is why all of the factual information is in the book. And bible scriptures to encourage us and bind the main idea to the Bible. This book is so amazing I will encourage all of you to read it and recommend it to all of our friends. This book can be read to littler kids because there is short enough stories for everyone's attentions, and not too much gruesome details. This book is a definite keeper!
