We finished this great book earlier this week during our evening reading time with Dave. It is a superb book to read if you are looking to find out more about prominent people throughout church history. The first chapter is on Polycarp (1st century A.D) and it ends with Richard Wurmbrand (who died in 2001). There are 46 stories included, a few from each period of history following Christ. It depicts a lot of the persecution and martyrdom that has taken place over the years...it is written honestly which means including many of the people dying, but it is not gory. You definitely come away from it with an appreciation of those who have gone before you and paved the way for the gospel to be spread throughout the world. Highly recommended.
