Jesus Freaks is a 1999 book by dc Talk and The Voice of the Martyrs. The name comes from the hit album that they released in 1995. It includes stories and testimonies of Christians from all over the world, past and present, who have been persecuted, tortured, or martyred for their Christian beliefs. Jesus Freaks is published by Albury Publishing (ISBN 1-57778-072-8).
After its publication, a sequel book was also published, along with affiliated books. These included a blank Journal book, Journal, a devotional-style book, Live Like a Jesus Freak, and a book of Bible verses, Promises for a Jesus Freak, for many occasions from many Protestant Bible translations, including the popular The Message translation.
Voice of the Martyrs also released a book independently of similar stories, Extreme Devotion.
Famous quotes containing the words jesus and/or freaks:
“We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is justified not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by doing the works of the law, because no one will be justified by the works of the law.”
—Bible: New Testament, Galatians 2:15-16.
“Every gazette brings accounts of the untutored freaks of the wind,—shipwrecks and hurricanes which the mariner and planter accept as special or general providences; but they touch our consciences, they remind us of our sins. Another deluge would disgrace mankind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
