Jul. 20, 2008 - FOXE'S BOOK OF MARTYRS
This is a book that will never die, so long as men love and serve our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It is one of the great English classics, and is more interesting than if it were fiction. It was written with both passion and tenderness, and tells the dramatic story of some of the most thrilling periods in all of Christian history.
