The book is well written as it goes from the synopsis of one life story to another. These are stories of men and women of mature Christian faith who are willing to give their lives as Jesus did His for the sake of that faith for which so much was paid.

My own walk was humbled and I was called on to reach out further and deeper to grow in the relationship with the Father that Jesus so accurately mirrored. Growing up as a Christian in the west, there have been few challenges to face in order to exercise my faith. Because of the inquisition and its atrocities, the men and women of that day faced death in so many ways by not giving loyalty to the Catholic Church in spite of the allegiance to the Lord and faithfulness in serving.

After reading this book my own desire to grow into a knowledge of the Father and Son with the help of the Holy Spirit has been kindled and is drawing me to seek, know, relate and be committed to Them in a much more serious manner.

I was blessed, encouraged and strengthened by the reading of this book. May God grant me the grace to grow even 50% as deep in my walk with Him as this men and women were.
