“Enter in by the narrow gate…” Verses like this one can be confusing to the modern Christian mind. How does this apply to my daily experience? The answer to this question and others lies in a secret truth that the early believers closely guarded. It was the secret of Martyrdom.

In The Following of Christ, Greg Gordon gives us a glimpse of what following the Lord truly meant to the Early Church. Join hands with your nail-pierced Lord’s hand and learn of that great cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1) who have gone before us, some giving their very lives.
In The Following of Christ, you’ll find:

* Accounts of early Church Martyrs in their own words
* Principles from Scriptures to follow Christ
* Overcome your fears and prepare for persecution* Ways to embrace suffering as a means of spiritual growth
“This little book helps us to not only admire the ancient Christian martyrs but to examine our lives and prepare for own martyrdom should God will it. As Greg reminds us, God grants special grace to those whom He calls to suffer by the sacrifice of their lives, enabling them to be fearless and even triumphant.” – David Servant, Founder of Heavens Family
