He reveals how thousands more are right now living courageously under oppressive regimes facing similar threats and dangers daily.These are our brothers and sisters in the Faith, the saints in our midst!

While doing so you will also discover: How the early Christian martyrs provided one of the first books of spirituality The true definition of a Christian martyr and five criteria to be considered a martyr Teachings of recent popes on the new martyrdom, including oblatio vitae How blasphemy laws are misconstrued to accuse and condemn Christians unjustly The most dangerous place to be a Catholic priest (You will be shocked!) The country where nine out of ten Christians martyrs worldwide are killed The tremendous sufferings of white martyrs and red martyrsIn these gripping pages, you will also see how even Christians who arent martyrs by definition continue to be powerful witnesses amid the most dire circumstances, proclaiming the true Faith and radiating Gods light in the face of the most diabolical cruelty.This watershed work gives Tertullians famous words the blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church an entirely new meaning.
