By Their Blood,: Christian Martyrs from the Twentieth Century and Beyond by Hefley, James and Marti. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780801065156.

Thousands of believers have lost their lives across the centuries for proclaiming their faith in Jesus Christ. Many of us have heard of martyrs of the Roman and medieval worlds, bravely facing down ravenous beasts or succumbing to fire. But martyrdom did not end in the Dark Ages and continues even to this day. In fact, more Christians have been martyred in modern times than in all other church eras combined. Now thoroughly updated to include martyrs from 1900 to the present, By Their Blood is a testimony to the steadfast faith of modern Christians all over the world. The hundreds of stories of devotion will inspire readers to a more fervent faith and an appreciation of the freedom they have in Christ.
