Summary
Non licet esse Christiani …
“Christians are not permitted to exist!”
In the year 68 A.D. it is a dangerous time to be a Christian.
The Apostles Peter and Paul have recently been brutally
executed as martyrs for their faith, and now the bloodthirsty
Emperor Nero is determined to rid his dominion permanently of
all the followers of Christ. Christians are being hunted down
in droves, and are being tortured and executed for their faith.
But where the raging maw of the beast roars, the silent love of
God prevails and gives strength, so that we are reminded:
“A rose can’t be heard when it opens. The grass
and the trees don’t make any noise when they grow. The
sun doesn’t make the slightest rustle when it rises.
That’s just how the faith of Christ is in the hearts and
in the society of men. Quietly and gently, it opens like a
flower and spreads its fragrance in people’s
lives!” From the author of
The Purple Mantle and
Diamonds on the Bosphorus comes a compelling tale of
faith, love, and courage in the face of death. It is a story
that testifies about how those who are called to be witnesses
to the awesome power of God can inspire others by their shining
example. As such, it is also an important story for all
times. **
