Heroes of God
Eleven Courageous Men and Women who Risked Everything to Spread the Catholic Faith
Description:... In every age and every country, valiant men and women have rejected the empty pursuit of worldly comforts and devoted their lives to bringing the truth of Jesus Christ to people who do not know Him. Here are the courageous deeds of eleven of these holy heroes, told with exhilarating vigor and immediacy by the master Catholic historian Henri Daniel-Rops.From pagan Rome and Aztec Mexico to forbidden Tibet and Muslim North Africa, these intrepid souls cheerfully risked rejection, prison, torture, and death to proclaim the message of Christ. Among them are:
-- Bl. Ramon Lull, who risked (and received) a death sentence by donning sheikh's garb and proclaiming Christ in the lands of Islam
-- Bartolome de las Casas, who fought tirelessly in newly Christian Mexico against the corruption and rapacity of his fellow Christians
-- St. Martin of Tours, who risked death to show Christ's truth to a disbelieving people
-- Fr. Nussbaum, who brought the seed of God's word to the most infertile soil on earth: Tibet
-- And many other heroes of God and their breathtaking adventures!
Let these stories show you what the love of Christ can accomplish in the world -- and in your own soul!
