Description
Faithful Saints of Christ is both a spiritual journey and a powerful historical testimony. Blending Scripture with history, the book reflects on the meaning of faithfulness to the Lord Jesus Christ—as described in the fundamental teachings of Christianity, and as lived through the exemplary acts of His saints.From the evangelism of Armenia by Christ’s Apostles Thaddeus and Bartholomew, to the adoption of Christianity as Armenia’s national faith in 301 AD, the book traces the miracles, struggles, and perseverance that have shaped Armenian history. Readers will witness the courage of Armenians who defended their Christian faith against oppression—with special emphasis on the story of St. Vartan and the Battle of Avarayr: the conflict in which the Armenians defied a powerful empire, took their stand with the Lord, and decisively confirmed their identity as a Christian people.
The narrative continues into modern history, recounting the Armenian Genocide of 1915, the hidden Armenian genocide of 1918 in Iran (Urmia and Khoy), and the ongoing persecution of Christians worldwide.
Both inspirational and eye-opening, Faithful Saints of Christ honors the saints of yesterday who remained steadfast under persecution, while encouraging believers of today to remain faithful to Christ against the obstacles of the present world.
