The Martyr's Song

Unabridged Audio

By: Ted Dekker

Narrated by: James Flynn

What would you die for?

That's the question suddenly thrust upon a small band of women and children in Bosnia at the close of World War II. When a group of bitter soldiers stumble upon their peaceful village, they suddenly face an insidious evil . . . and the ultimate test.

It is then, in the midst of chaos and pain that the Martyr's Song is first heard. It is then that the window into heaven first opens. It is then that love and beauty are shown in breathtaking reality.

You have in your hands the story and the song that changed . . . everything.

it's an okay short story

I picked this because of the reviews and I expected a bit more. not as impressed as I thought but still a good read and valuable lesson

Story great, narration not so much

This is a tragic and gruesome story that is beautifully written and ultimately inspirational. It is about love of Christ and the discovery of beauty in the world. The author does a great job of showing the brutality of war and and the complexity of personal sacrifice. My only complaint is that the narrator mispronounces almost all of the Bosnian and Serbian names and also does not have a very good accent when narrating the voices. It would be much better to have a narrator who knows how to say the names of these characters and places, as they are actually pronounced, not through an American approximation.

Feel the Feels!

This author presents insights with all his books. Provides great food for thought. Stays with you, as one mulls what was shared. Highly Recommend this author.

ooof!

Tears, tears, snot, snort, tears, blow nose. tears...repeat. Cried so ugly for something so incredibly beautiful. thank you for helping me grow closer to our Lord Jesus. my name is Marcie. I am very average looking and was bullied my entire life. this precious story, although tough to listen to, spoke to my little girl inside and told her how beautiful she has always been and to not fear death and destruction because it will all be made right when we get home. Also, to never ever ever renounce my faith in our Father. I'm praying for strength for us all. thank you Ted Dekker! I would love to know the process in which these stories were created because it seems like you have been touched by God with more than a glimpse of Heaven.

Make you think

Great book loved every minute of it! Makes you wonder how strong your faith and love is for Christ and how you would act in that situation.
