FOX'S BOOK OF MARTYRS, BY JOHN FOXE [new 3/97]
http://ccel.wheaton.edu/foxe/martyrs/
It has been said that the norm for Christians, either in today's world, or throughout history has not been comfort, but rather violence has been the norm. Throughout countries that do not face opposition to the Gospel of Jesus Christ there exists freedom, and a tendency to forget the great price paid on the Cross, and also shared by Christian Saints. Fox's Book of Martyrs should be one of the first books read by Christians today. As noted in the preface, ""After the Bible itself, no book so profoundly influenced early Protestant sentiment as the Book of Martyrs. Even in our time it is still a living force. It is more than a record of persecution. It is an arsenal of controversy, a storehouse of romance, as well as a source of edification". This edition of Foxe is housed at the Christian Classics Ethereal Library at Wheaton College.

He intends the information to be contemporary and controversial. He observes that a whole new generation is growing up in the world of cyberspace. They need to be challenged with Christ as much as any previous generation. The old ways are still the best ways, even in cyberspace! Mr. Sraill, a retired fundamental missionary, provides careful and a very readable exposition, with Bible proofs applied, to current issues surrounding prophecy. After ending his years on the field he now represents his view of the big picture. The material is relevant to today with a gospel message included in each area represented. The following studies are available at the time of our survey: Know About the Apology from a Tomb; Know About the Era in Which We Minister; Know Where the Last Jihad Takes Place; Know Why Environmental Sin is the Worst; Know Why it's an Almond Bud.
