About book The Blood Of The Martyrs: How The Slaves In Rome Found Victory In Christ (1994)

have just finished this fantastic book! If you have read and enjoyed Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz you will love this one too. Set In Rome during the reign of Nero this is a wonderful historical novel which tells of the lives of both slaves and Roman citizens and how they are affected by the rise of Christianity. The Author takes time to introduce you to each of the characters and as you get to know them you become involved with their lives and concerned for their well being. As the story progresses to its inevitable conclusion its is very moving and you are drawn into the lives of the Christians and start to care very much what happens to them. The cruelty and inhumanity of the Roman's towards the Christians at the time was diabolical and it is so hard to realise how such things could be done by one human being to another when reading it today.
