Download or read book Mirror of the Martyrs written by John Oyer. This book was released on 2002-10-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some four centuries ago, thousands of Christians died because they dared to refuse to join the state church in medieval Europe. Their reading of the Holy Bible and their consciences led them to believe that church membership should be a voluntary, adult decision. These believers died public, tortured deaths as martyrs. Many modern-day Christians claim these persons of courage as their spiritual ancestors. In the late 1600s, many of those scenes were etched on copper plates, some of which, still exist. Mirror of the Martyrs reproduces 30 of those etchings and tells the courageous stories of these people of faith.

Book Synopsis Martyrs Mirror by : Thieleman Van Braght

Download or read book Martyrs Mirror written by Thieleman Van Braght. This book was released on 1938-12-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic graphic accounts of more than 4,000 Christians who endured suffering, torture, and a martyr’s death because of their simple faith in the gospel of Christ. Includes more than 50 finely detailed etchings by noted Dutch artist Jan Luyken. Songs, letters, prayers, and confessions appear with the stories of many “defenseless Christians” who were able to love their enemies and return good for evil. This gigantic book calls believers to follow Jesus in all areas of life, even unto death. Come what may, true Christian commitment demands supreme discipleship and steadfast adherence to the teachings modeled by Jesus and his apostles. Written and published in 1659 by a Dutch Mennonite, Thieleman J. van Braght, to strengthen the faith of his fellow believers, and translated into German in 1748 at the time of the French and Indian War for the same reason. In 1886 Martyrs Mirror was translated into English to challenge generations of Christians in North America. Free downloadable study guide available here.

Book Synopsis On Fire For Christ by : Dave Jackson

Download or read book On Fire For Christ written by Dave Jackson. This book was released on 1989-07-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories of 15 Anabaptist martyrs are retold by Dave and Neta Jackson from Martyrs Mirror. These stories, including those of Michael Sattler, Elizabeth Dirks, and Dirk Willems, reflect a cross-section of the thousands of men and women who lost their lives because of their faith during the 16th century. The storytelling perspective varies: sometimes from the martyr’s point of view or that of a friend or relative, sometimes that of a child or bystander—or even the executioner or betrayer. The martyrs come alive through these stories and their witness for Christ inspires us. Discussion questions focus on present-day meaning making this a valuable tool for study groups.
