"Have you grace to be a martyr?" D. L. Moody was once asked. "No," he replied, "I have not. But if God wanted me to be one, he would give me a martyr's grace." They came from around the world--administrators, teachers, nurses, church planters, pilots--regular people in the prime of life. Little did they know how life would end. A Martyr's Grace tells the individual stories of faithful men and women--all alumni of The Moody Bible Institute--who were killed for their faith. Where possible, each account describes their childhood, time at Moody, and the events leading up to their death. What compels ordinary people to this kind of sacrifice? Only Christ. These 21 didn't go expecting to die. But they went having already given their lives. Bonnie Witherall Hattie J. Rice Josephine Elizabeth Desmond Eleanor E.
