Perpetua and Polycarp - Their Blood Cries Out, #1 - E-book - ePub

The Book of Hebrews, chapter 13, reminds the Church to "Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering" (NIV). Yet few have retold their stories in a way that can be appreciated by modern Christians and applied to their own life. J. A. brings two of these ancient Christians to life in two original novelettes painting the martyrdom of Perpetua and Polycarp of Smyrna in vivid, high-definition color.
One is the story of a young mother, betrayed by her family and torn from her newborn son, yet eager to claim the name 'Christian' and share in the same fate as those who have gone before her in the name of Christ. The other is  an elder bishop whose life has been protected by his parishioners for the last time when he refuses to bend the knee to Caesar and willingly climbs upon the fiery pyre of martyrdom.
Perpetua and Polycarp will inspire you to walk by faith, not by sight; to persevere unto the end, even to the ultimate end. Their stories will inspire your faith and beckon you to join the great cloud of martyred witnesses who have gone before us.
