FOX's BOOK of MARTYRS

[Lewis]

This is one great book, I have not read it in many years but I getting into this online version again, just great information in this book. This book goes from the apostles to William Tyndale and beyond just a great book.

FOX's BOOK of MARTYRS
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."

A great read.
“Pilgrim’s Progress” is second only to the Bible in the number of copies it has sold worldwide. It has even been called “the second best book in all the world.” And now, a new collector’s edition – an heirloom quality reproduction – is selling well once again.

One excerpt of Pilgrim’s Progress I like and use once in a while for those fighting bad thoughts is:
“One thing I would not let slip; I took notice that now poor CHRISTIAN was so confounded, that he did not know his own voice. And thus I perceived it: just when he was come over against the mouth of the burning pit, one of the wicked ones got behind him, and stept up softly to him; and whisperingly suggested many grievous blasphemies to him--which he verily thought had proceeded from his own mind. This put CHRISTIAN more to it than anything that he met with before, even to think that he should now blaspheme him that he loved so much before! Yet could he have helped it, he would not have done it; but he had not the discretion neither to stop his ears, nor to know from whence those blasphemies came.”

I really like The Pilgrim's Progress. I read it in 23 hour lockdown, before Teen Challenge. Then, after I moved back in with my parents after getting saved, I found this old-ish (1930s or 40s), short, illustrated, children's version (!!!) and I skim over it now and then.

The treatment of early Christians was real bad and I mean real real bad.

Brother Lewis, I'm getting old. You titled this thread as Foxes Book of Martyrs, and I somehow read it as Pilgrim's Progress.
I too read the Book of Martyrs, and it is indeed a blessing. The following you tube is an audio presentation.
