 Foxe's Book of Martyrs John Foxe Edited by W. Grinton Berry 
 Description From The Publisher: With millions of copies in print, Foxe's Book of Martyrs has become a classic of magnificent courage and faith. Beginning with Jesus Christ, this unparalleled volume traces the roots of religious persecution. Some of the heroic figures examined are John Hus, John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Anne Askew, Lady Jane Grey, and Martin Luther. Since Foxe also knew persecution, his writings possess a sense of immediacy and insight into suffering that few "objective" church historians can match. In this modern edition, the original narrative is streamlined and reorganized in order to present Foxe's story crisply and in today's language.
