– What drove them to speak boldly, no matter the cost
– The powerful ways their lives still speak to us today

From Peter, who was crucified upside down, to Stephen, the first martyr, each chapter reveals a new depth of strength, conviction, and hope.

This audiobook is a reminder that faith isn't just belief—it's action, sacrifice, and trust in the face of fear.

Taking place over about 30 years in Galilee during the first century AD, this book tells the stories of 14 martyrs who were dedicated to Jesus and attested to their belief in the resurrection. They all died for their commitment and belief. The stories are fascinating and truly inspirational, both individually and especially collectively. The writing and narration are appropriate to the topic. I am hopeful that the relatively brisk chapters will appeal to the short attention spans of the Tik Tok crowd, although anyone can find inspiration from this lovely book.
