Mystics and Martyrs

In this book you will find the stories of nine different individuals from nine different religious backgrounds. They followed different customs and wore different clothes. They disagreed about what people should eat. Some were involved in politics and business, some retired from the world. They had different ideas about sex, marriage and love. Yet each of them was a spiritual genius in his or her own way. They had one thing in common, a deep belief in something greater than themselves. Their beliefs were so strong that they were willing to live, or even die, for them.
