Life of St. Lorenzo Ruiz: The Martyr Who Would Rather Die a Thousand Deaths Than Deny Christ (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798313986203)

What does it mean to stand firm in faith, even in the face of death? St. Lorenzo Ruiz, the first Filipino saint and martyr, was an ordinary man-a husband, father, and devout Catholic-who was thrust into extraordinary circumstances. Falsely accused and forced to flee, he found himself in 17th-century Japan, where Christians faced brutal persecution.

Tortured in the infamous tsurushi (hanging pit), he was given one final chance to renounce Christ and live. His response? "If I had a thousand lives, I would offer them all to God."

This powerful book brings his inspiring true story to life with vivid storytelling, historical depth, and spiritual reflections. Explore his journey from Manila to martyrdom, the miracles attributed to him, and his lasting legacy. With prayers, discussion questions, and insights for modern believers, this book challenges you to embrace faith with courage.

Discover the story of a man who gave everything for God-and continues to inspire the world. Get your copy today!
