(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.
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.
Boundaries are like a fence with gates, which are opened to what is good, yet are closed to whatever is bad. If I, however, closed shut my heart completely, and did not let it ever be opened, this fence is consequently transformed into a wall that completely isolates and imprisons me. Building boundaries is not against love and individuality, but makes clear our responsibilities and our role.
His Eminence Metropolitan Youssef, having many years of experience, reveals what healthy boundaries are, how to build them, and what are some obstacles to setting them.
H.E. Metropolitan Youssef was ordained Bishop in 1992 and elevated to Metropolitan in 2022 for the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States. His Eminence has completed a Ph.D. degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from St. Mary University in San Antonio, TX.
