1: Exceptional
"Jesus Freaks" is a book suited for teenagers and adults alike about Christian martyrs (both those who died and/or suffered greatly for their faith) from the ancient to meodern world. The short stories are generally well written, inspiring, and a powerful testament to the power of faith in Christ. I would have like to have seen it a little more interdenominational, but its format was never the less very good. It also introduced me to Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand (who both wrote some very good books about facing suffering and persecution). I recommend this book's sequel though I personally like the original better. I also recommend other Voice of the Martyrs books on Amazon. Overall, a great book.

2: Martyrs
The stories in this book are heart wrenching causing me to wonder if I am made of the stuff the heroes in this book were made of. It was so inspirational.

3: Jesus Freaks
What more can I add? Nothing, I agree with other readers that this is truly an amazing book. I wrote down a lot of quotes to keep with me. Touching and inspirational. I recommend it.

4: Sobering.....Thought-Provoking
How far would you go for this Jesus? Do you see Him as a mere story, a fairy-tale, a figment of imagination? Is He up-close and personal....is He not only your God come in human flesh who died for you, but your father....your best friend??? Would you willingly let another stop your beating heart and your breathing lungs for this mysterious, wonderous love that penetrates every cell and fiber of your created being? This book will have you asking questions like these. I have mentally put myself in the same situations as some of the martyrs in this book, and I have gone over it and over it with the Lord. Would I? My answer is "yes" I would die for Him. Would you?

5: Inspirational, Amazing, Worth every penny and every minute spent reading
I have been in full-time Christian service for years and was inspired by this book to really live for Christ. It is absolutely amazing to see how God works in the lives of His people and how much faith He gives them. It is the most inspirational book I have ever read (except for the Bible, obviously :).
