The Breaths of God, a series borne out of a longing to equip Coptic Orthodox Christians with a resource by which to deeply encounter the living word of God under the light of the mind and practice of the Church, invites readers to venture intimately into the study of the Holy Scriptures. Drawing from the timeless wisdom of the early Church Fathers as well as helpful insights from modern Biblical scholarship, this series offers a faithful, accessible, and spiritually rich exploration of the word of God. Within its pages, each passage is examined in a multifaceted manner, enabling readers to not only understand the God-breathed text, but also encounter the Lord Jesus Christ personally within it.

About the Author:

Michael Stefanos is a Coptic Orthodox Christian and faithful disciple to saintly men and women who have sown the love of Christ in his heart. Having completed several years of service under the guidance of Fr. Tadros Y. Malaty, and being inspired by him to share of his own discipleship and experience, Michael offers this work as a token of his love for the Church, and prays that through it, God may be glorified at all times.
