From the stoning of Stephen in the first-century Jerusalem to Nigerian Christians persecuted by Boko Haram in 2015, these stirring accounts will inspire greater faithfulness to the way of Jesus, reminding believers what costly discipleship looks like in any age. Bearing Witness brings together dozens of accounts from around the world of Christians who gave witness to their faith in the face of intense persecution, even if it costs them their lives. In selecting stories for this book, the editors focused on Anabaptist martyrs and others who suffered for their commitment to believer’s baptism and nonviolence.

My review:
It is always inspiring to read of the hardships that others have gone through for the sake of their faith. I often wonder if I, myself would be strong enough to endure what these people have endured, and I am reminded of how blessed I am to live in Canada. Our country is still "free" but I wonder for how long. The very stories of these martyrs could easily be our own in the not too distant future, as we see the political/social/moral state of our country change. This book is similar to many other books about martyrs, but have more up to date stories within the covers and is focused more on the non violent denominations of the Christian religion. A great read, and one that is sure to encourage you to take a firmer stand in your beliefs. I felt encouraged to stand firm in my convictions and not to compromise, to take back any ground that the enemy took while I DID compromise! Three cheers to freedom, physical, emotional and spiritual!!!
