A summary of this book:

"They Paid the Ultimate Price In his sixth God's Generals volume, Roberts Liardon chronicles some of the great martyrs for the faith-and some of the lesser-known ones. Their inspirational testimony, acts of courage, and even seasons of doubt both encourage and point awareness toward the persecuted church of the twenty-first century."

What did you like about the book?

The countless accounts of many men and woman of literally paid with their lives to follow Jesus right to the end. Robert also points an array of different countries christians went to , showing that the gospel is needed by all nations . And can also be resisted by all nations because of the sin in our hearts.

What did you not like about this book?

The book falls within the genre of history. So it was quite dense with numbers, dates and details. Very clunky in reading and doesn’t carry a specific narrative from start to finish. But a culmination of quite a lot of stories which can make it heard to read in “one-go.”

Who would benefit most from reading this book?

All believers who profess to follow Jesus. Having counted the cost and are led by the Spirit to lay down their lives.

Do you recommend this book?

Yes, without reservation!

If someone reads this book, they should be aware of the following...

Some of the accounts are quite gruesome. Such as people being burnt at the stakes for following Jesus.
