Not illustrated. 1875 edition. Excerpt: ... FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH. "Woman's heart is tenderness, Yet woman weel may dare The deftest deed, an' tremble nane, Gin true love be her care." Scottish Ballad. HE fourth of November, 1698. This was the day on which Claude Brousson was to make the last sacrifice for the faith for which he had already given up friends and country, home and family, and ease of body and of mind. It only now remained that he should deliver up his life to Him who gave it, and by whose will he held it. Born in happier days, when Protestants could claim the protection of law, even though that law was harsh, Brousson spent his early manhood defending the Protestant faith in the law courts of his country. And when this was no longer possible, he became a leader of the persecuted people--a preacher of righteousness in a dark ened land. Even his enemies could not shut their eyes to the light of his pious and peaceful life--to the self-sacrificing love, that to our day throws hallowed splendour round the memory of this man. It was on the Peyrou of Montpellier that the sentence of the law was to be carried into effect. This sentence had been that he should first be tortured on the rack, then broken on the wheel, and finally strangled. Already the rack had been applied in vain, and in mercy the order of the remaining punishments had been reversed. To inflict these all was now prepared. The town flocked to see the sight. Men, women, and even children stood massed together on the barren tableland, which, rising above the city, was then the common place of execution for the whole of the surrounding district. In the centre of this long broad space of waste barren land a scaffold was erected. Workmen had been busy at it during the early part of the day; but it was now evening, ...

Eight women from eight very different backgrounds. Yet the struggles they each faced rang with eerie similarity. These courageous women from across the globe-Pakistan, India, Romania, Former Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, Nepal, Indonesia-shared similar experiences of hardship, subjugation, and persecution, all because of their faith in Christ. Yet all of these women have emerged from adversity as leaders and heroines. The eight modern-day pilgrims featured in Hearts of Fire are the hidden jewels in the church universal. They are worthy role models of faith and passion, and women of every age will gain new strength and hope for their own times of crisis and trial as they read these inspiring stories. Each story concludes with thoughtful self-reflection questions for the reader.

The lives of the Saints are one of the most powerful ways God draws people to himself, showing us the love and the joy we can find in him. But so often, these Saints seem distant—impossibly holy or dull or unlike us in race and age and state in life. In Saints Around the World, you’ll meet over one-hundred Saints from more than sixty countries, including Saints with different disabilities, strengths, and struggles. The beautiful illustrations and captivating storytelling will introduce you and your children to new heavenly friends while also helping you fall more in love with Jesus. Each story in this book is written not only to capture the imagination but also to speak about God’s tremendous love and our call to be saints. There are stories in Saints Around the World for when you feel like life isn’t fair, when people are being unkind to you, when you’ve made a terrible mistake, when you’re struggling at school, when prayer is hard. And there are stories of shouting down Nazis, of fleeing a murderous villain, of making scientific discoveries, of smoking a cigar while enemy soldiers amputate your leg. There are scared Saints, brilliant Saints, weak Saints, adventurous Saints, abused Saints, overjoyed Saints, disabled Saints—and the point of every one of them is the love of God. Whether you’re checking the map to find Saints who look like you or perusing the extensive indices to find Saints with your skills or struggles, you’ll find countless stories in this book that remind you how very possible holiness is.

The act of martyrdom in the worldview of the Apocalypse has been considered to be an exemplification of non-violent resistance. Paul Middleton argues here, however, that it is in fact a representation of direct participation by Christians, through their martyrdom, in divine violence against those the author of Revelation portrays as God's enemies. Middleton shows that acceptance of martyrdom is to grasp the invitation to participate in the Revelation's divine violence. Martyrs follow the model laid down by the Lamb, who was not only slain, but resurrected, glorified, and who executes judgement. The world created by the Apocalypse encourages readers to conquer the Beast through martyrdom, but also through the experience of resurrection and being appointed judges. In this role, martyrs participate in the judgement of the wicked by sharing the Lamb's power to judge. Different from eschewing violence, the conceptual world of the Apocalypse portrays God, the Lamb, and the martyrs as possessing more power, might, and violent potential than the Emperor and his armies. Middleton believes that martyrdom and violence are necessary components of the worldview of Revelation.
