(EPISTLE OF ST. JAMES) PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR CHRISTIAN LIVING: St. James wrote his epistle about very practical aspects of Christian life. In it, you find very clear instructions, with nearly half of the verses providing direct and practical instructions regarding the meaning of “true religion” enduring trials, being a doer of the word and not only a hearer, displaying wisdom, founding your faith in humility, and the blessings of patience, prayer, and love.
(FIRST EPISTLE OF ST. PETER) CONDUCT BEFITTING THE PEOPLE OF GOD: St. Peter writes to Christians who were experiencing persecution, seeking to encourage them to remain steadfast. He reminds them of the privileges Christians claim in Christ, and instructs them likewise about the duties of Christians, as the elect of God, as His special people.
(SECOND EPISTLE OF ST. PETER) LIVE A GODLY LIFE: As St. Peter’s martyrdom was nearing, he tells the flock to beware of false teachers, and to grow in their relationship with God.

New to America? Want to serve newcomers? Curious about the history of Coptic immigration to the U.S.A.? Trying to adapt yourself to your new environment?
Coptic Orthodox Christians have been immigrating to the United States in droves over the last few decades, and their ability to adapt to their new environment has varied greatly.
Bishop Youssef has incorporated years of experience observing and guiding Coptic immigrants into a book that details the history of Copts in the U.S.A., and also provides a comprehensive outlook at how Copts can adequately adapt to their new home. His Grace also shares his vision of the future of Coptic Orthodox Christianity in the land of immigration and how people can fruitfully serve those around them.
Becoming parents is a great blessing, but it is also a great challenge. Anyone who is called to serve the children of God has a significant role in contributing to the spiritual development and wellbeing of the youth. This book is derived from several homilies and lectures by His Grace Bishop Youssef, the Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States, over a period of twenty-eight years (1989-2017) on the subject of raising children. It is not intended solely for parents, but also for anyone who is called to serve the children of God in any capacity, as well as the youth and adolescents themselves.
