Foxes Book of Martyrs
 
I offer Foxes Book of Martyrs as a memorial to our brothers and sisters, who down through the ages, fought the scourge of the despot and oppressor who made many attempts to destroy the Church militant by forcing upon them cruel tortures and schemes and murders.  The only thing these cruel despots did was to show the world the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is here to stay until the last day.

When you read the cruel tortures which were devised by the evil Roman Catholic Church, keep them in mind the next time you laud the Pope for being a man of peace.  Also keep them in mind when you send checks to traitors like Billy Graham, Jack Van Impe, or others who praise the Roman Catholic Church.  They are the enemies of true Christianity and should not be supported or lauded, rather their adherents need to be witnessed to.  It is those who have given all for the faith which are the true Christian leaders and not the so-called pack of $250,000 a year radio & TV speakers.  So all you self-absorbed, psychology duped, Dobson disciples stop crying in your milk when someone says something bad about you.  You have never, nor will you probably ever, give what these people have given, the true heroes of the faith.

Many say that we must not live in the past but when you deal with an organization like the Roman Catholic Church one must always remember:

WHAT IS PAST IS PROLOGUE!

The Office of the Inquisition has never been abolished!

FOXE'S BOOK of MARTYRS

Edited by William Byron Forbush

This is a book that will never die -- one of the great English classics. . . . Reprinted here in its most complete form, it brings to life the days when "a noble army, men and boys, the matron and the maid," "climbed the steep ascent of heaven, 'mid peril, toil, and pain."

"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."
