Mirror of the Martyrs: Stories of Courage, Inspiringly Retold, of 16th Century Anabaptists Who Gave Their Lives for Their Faith

Rating:
Summary: A sampling of martyr accounts from Martyrs Mirror.
Review: MIRROR OF THE MARTYRS is based upon a book called MARTYRS MIRROR. MARTYRS MIRROR, written in 1660, is 1150+ pages revealing the history of the Christian doctrine and martyrs from the time of Christ forward. The majority of the book focuses on Anibaptist martyrs. I do not recommend MIRROR OF THE MARTYRS as a prelude to reading MARTYRS MIRROR. I highly recommend it as a followup. It presents history about the pictures used in MARTYRS MIRROR, and presents them in the midst of 28 accounts repeated from MARTYRS MIRROR. It also gives a history of MARTYRS MIRROR's author, and the artist of the graphic plates. It is well written. 95 pages, beautifully illustrated .
