		But the number of martyrs was increased by the studies he made in other works of church history, and by information he secured from archives, e.g., those of the cities of Dordrecht and Amsterdam.

	Martyrs Mirror Online - Hearts on Fire! Anabaptist Martyrs, AD 1524-1660
		The book Martyrs Mirror consists primarily of final messages from Christians in jail, joyfully waiting to die for their faith.
		Most of Martyrs Mirror describes the persecution and execution of thousands of Anabaptists in the Low Countries between 1524 and 1660 (plus Germans, Swiss, Austrians and other Europeans).
		Though most of the persecution described in Martyrs Mirror was directed by a single international religious organization under state authority, the greatest danger to our souls today is not any particular denomination, but any religious tradition that intertwines itself with the world system and relies on state support.

	Jay D Weaver's Thought for the Week - Martyrs Mirror; A Memorial to Faith - Story of Dirk Willems
		This morning I would like to lift up a memorial to the faithful in the Christian church that has been considered by many in the Anabaptist tradition to be second only to the bible in its importance as a record of that faith.
		That memorial is the book entitled “Martyrs Mirror.” The book was written by Thieleman J. van Bracht of Holland in 1660, and is still highly revered by the Amish and Mennonites.
		The following is a quote from Martyrs Mirror: “In the year 1569 a pious, faithful brother and follower of Jesus Christ, named Dirk Willems, was apprehended at Asperen, in Holland, and had to endure severe tyranny from the papists.

	Martyrs Mirror. . .Study Guide
		Provides a historical overview of the legacy of nonresistance passed down by the Anabaptists who referred to themselves as “defenseless Christians.”; Follows the history of peacemaking among Mennonites in the twentieth century from their being the “quiet in the land” to their active witnessing and intervention in the interests of peacemaking.
		Although their lives and their brief marriage ended when they were martyred in 1527, their legacy of radical faith helped to shape the Anabaptist movement for many years.
		Suggests that the Martyrs Mirror be used as a tool for renewal by “looking at the martyrs, listening to their convictions and hearing their hymns.” Argues that we also must integrate a spirituality and social non-conformity which “bear the stamp of Jesus”; and inevitably lead to a collision with society and the powers that be.
