“It is with much joy that we are finally able to release this greatly amplified (more than a dozen lives have been added) and edited successor to the long out of print New Martyrs of the Turkish Yoke. Many of these saints have been hitherto unknown in English-speaking countries. Shocking and disturbing as are these accounts—the brutality of the Ottomans almost defies belief—it is not for ‘shock value’ that we publish them. Rather, it is for their astounding evidence of what is possible for the truly faithful (whether monastics or laymen), and as a much-needed antidote to the hedonistic, me-first, society in which we are doomed to live. Except those furnished by outside sources, all of the translations have been heavily revised, in some instances entirely rewritten, and the entire volume has been rigorously edited for consistency of style.”
—“Preface”
