The 21

“Be Strong and Courageous For The Lord Is With You....” Joshua 1:9

“The 21” by Martin Mosebach is a heartbreaking story about the Coptic Martyrs who were beheaded by Isis, back in February 0f 2015. But this book goes beyond just the story that you can see. He gives these men their names, their history, and expands on their faith.

Coptic Christians are constantly under threat for their faith. There are dangers on a daily basis but these brave souls have put their faith in God, and trust him through everything. For the 21 brave men who were executed, simply for being Christian, their faith supported them through the end of their lives. They took a stand, and they were killed for their faith. Martin Mosebach is helping their story and courage to live on - and to be shared with many others.

Martin Mosebach does a fabulous job of bringing this story, and the story of the Coptic Christians to light. While reading this book, I went through the gambit of emotions. The stories are heartbreaking, and the photos allow you to see these men as who they were before the video was released.
If you are interested in history, then this book is a MUST read. The struggles, the triumphs, and more are lined out. I gained a better understanding of the Coptic Christians through this book.
