I am part of the christianaudio Reviewer's Program. The following is my review of Foxes Book of Martyrs which I highly and heartily recommend. I recommend it both for the content (an historical record of Christian persecution and martyrdom) and for the audio production itself. Christian Audio (http://christianaudio.com/) offers this recording.
This Hovel Audio recording is read very well by Nadia May. The correct inflections and appropriate pauses make it easy to follow and absorb.
This work starts with the persecutions recorded in the biblical account of the Acts of the Apostles. But then, where the biblical account ends, this work presents an historical account of continued persecution ending with the story of Adoniram Judson (1788-1850), missionary to Burma.
The persecutions described in this book are at times very graphic. But despite this word of warning, this book should be listened to. Remember, similar persecutions continue in some parts of the world today. This book and others like it will create a sense of urgency and fervency in your prayers.
The pages of Scripture offers a good description of the men, women, and children portrayed in this book:
1 Peter 4:13-16 …rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. …yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
