Hidden Among Us: Volume 1: The Lives of Fr. Abdel Massih of Manahra, the Fool for Christ, and Metropolitan Mena, His Disciple - Paperback

by Anthony Marcos (Author)

Hidden Among Us is a collection of writings that records the lives of modern Coptic Orthodox Christian saints and righteous individuals, many of whom lived within the last century. Gathered from firsthand testimonies, these accounts assemble what might otherwise have remained scattered, untranslated, or lost forever. Many of the biographies presented here appear in English for the very first time, while some have never been properly transcribed in any language until now.Here, the reader is brought face-to-face with the real lives of clergy, laypeople, monastics, and servants who were made holy while living in our mundane, broken world. Together, these biographies form both a devotional treasury for the faithful, and a living witness to the abiding work of Christ in the present day. In an age marked by spiritual lukewarmness and confusion, these pages are written to prove that sainthood is not distant, theoretical, or confined to another era. Hidden Among Us affirms that the grace of Christ is still at work, and that saints are still being made.Dr. Anthony Marcos is an author who has focused his writing on sharing the stories of contemporary saints. His books, including the widely-cherished A Spring in Sinai, are part of his ongoing labor of bringing these lives into the light. Beyond his literary works, he lives in South Florida where he practices dentistry, and serves at his local parish.
