From Publisher:

A wave of missionary fervor swept through 17th century France, powered by the desire to bring the Gospel to those who had never heard it. Traders, adventures and explorers saw the New World as territory to exploit, while the Jesuits saw it as a land ripe for the Gospel message. They were ready to give up everything to proclaim the God they loved. These men faced incredible obstacles: an unfamiliar culture and a complex language, a harsh climate, illness, hunger, misunderstanding and opposition. They lived among the native peoples, adapted to their way of life and sought opportunities to evangelize. Eight of these missionaries gave their lives as martyrs of Jesus Christ. They died because of their faith and their devotion to a people they had grown to love. This is their story.
