“Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” (Revelation 2:10, NRSV) Christians are called to die daily to themselves and live for Christ, but we often find ourselves lacking the courage and strength to be all that God wants us to be. Yet many believers have answered that call in every generation, living selfless, bold and fearless lives, even laying them down in the ultimate sacrifice for Christ. From their stories we can draw inspiration to help us be faithful to death in the face of outward opposition and inward struggle. In this outstanding devotional resource you will find 366 stories of brave and dedicated Christians who gave up their lives for their Lord. From the apostles and leaders of the early Church to the humblest believers of our own day, they witnessed to the truth and power of the Gospel by their unflinching faithfulness to Christ. And though they are dead, they still speak – to encourage us to live more wholeheartedly for Him. Their stories are interwoven with Bible verses, hymns, prayers and words of wisdom and encouragement. Spend a year in the company of these great heroes of our faith and allow God to touch your life, as He touched and transformed theirs for His glory. - from Amzon
