No stories capture the essence of what it means to take a stand for ones faith better than the stories of the martyrs. Though hundreds of Waldenses who gave their lives for the sake of loyalty to God remain nameless in history, their stories live on in the pages of this book, compelling today’s Christians to take their faith seriously. A fierce battle wages between Christ and Satan over the hearts and minds of every man, woman and child. On the front lines of this war are those who dare to shine the light of the Holy Bible on the darkness of those who would usurp God’s sovereignty. In the latter years of the Middle Ages, a people called the Waldenses dared to stand against the religio-political power of a corrupt Roman Catholic Church, pitting truth against tradition and greed.

This updated edition of the Scottish historian, James Aitken Wylie’s classic The History of the Waldenses, chronicles the perils, plight and persecution of the Waldenses across the centuries as they devoted all they had–even their lives–to preserving the sacred truths of the Gospel and taking them to the world. An new preface by Ellen G. White provides a compelling overview of the Waldenses faith and its implications for today’s Christians. An epilogue by the editor provides a brief glimpse at the Waldenses in the 20th and 21st centuries.
