My library reflects my journey as a priest, reader, and author. It is centered on Holy Scripture, biblical theology, and the life of the Church, with a special focus on the revelation of God as the Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ. I am especially drawn to the writings of the early Church Fathers, works on the Holy Spirit, the Eucharist, and the Hebraic roots of the Christian faith. Alongside theological works, I also include books that support pastoral ministry, spiritual growth, and meaningful engagement with the world today.

I am a Coptic Orthodox priest serving at St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church in Jersey City since 1995. My calling is to proclaim the knowledge of God as the Heavenly Father, revealed through Jesus Christ, by the power of His Holy Spirit.

As an author, I write on biblical theology, the oneness of God, the revelation of the Father, the Logos, and the work of the Holy Spirit. I have a deep interest in biblical studies, especially the Book of Revelation, the New Testament—particularly through my work on the Master Standard Version (MSV)—and the Book of Daniel. My desire is to help readers move beyond knowing about God to truly knowing Him in a living and personal relationship.

My writings are rooted in Holy Scripture, enriched by the witness of the early Church Fathers, and shaped by the life of the Church, especially the Eucharistic life. Through books, sermons, and reflections, I seek to invite all people to encounter the love of the Father in Christ.
