When he finished in 1660 with the publication of \u003ci\u003eMartyrs Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e, he had doubled the size of the original. A large book of 1290 pages appeared. The author hoped that the book would inspire the reader to hold as tenaciously to the faith as did the Christian martyrs. The heritage of bloodshed and persecution for the sake of a clear conscience and a pure faith grounded in the Word of God is the heritage of the Christian church.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Herald Press (VA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50610044829970,"sku":"9780836113907","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_25ec28f6-263d-41cb-9fd7-26f85913fdd6.jpg?v=1732332235","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/martyrs-mirror-9780836113907","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
