Synopsis
Can a government kill God? In the 20th century, they tried.
More Christians were martyred in the last hundred years than in the first three centuries of the Roman Empire combined. Yet, their stories remain largely unknown in the West.
The Holy Cost is a searing investigative history that exposes the war on Christianity waged by Communist regimes across the globe. It travels from the "Red God" of the Bolsheviks to the "Year Zero" of the Khmer Rouge, documenting the mechanisms used to crush the faithful: the infiltration of the priesthood, the brainwashing of children, and the industrialization of death.
But the heart of this book is not the cruelty of the state; it is the resilience of the soul. It forces the reader to confront a haunting reality:
Almost every single Christian martyr in this book could have saved their life with a few words. All they had to do was sign a paper. All they had to do was say, "God is not real." All they had to do was name their fellow believers.
Because they refused, they vanished into unmarked graves. Modern history has overlooked their suffering, treating it as a footnote to the Cold War. This book restores them to their rightful place. It is a memorial to the "Holy Cost", the price paid by those who believed that the soul is worth more than the world.
