<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The author, Anthony Marcos, was personally commissioned to write and compile the biography of one of the Coptic Orthodox Church's most contemporary martyrs by his own blessed family. He explains: "In the summer of 2019, I travelled to Egypt and took the blessing of visiting Sister Mariam Milad Eskander, the wife of Father Mina Abood Sharobeem, who gained the crown of martyrdom on Saturday, July 6, 2013 in the city of Al Arish in North Sinai. I had the privilege of interviewing Sister Mariam for several hours, compiling valuable first-hand accounts about the life of Father Mina. She has tasked me with compiling his story for the first time into English. Sister Mariam agreed to have this work published in the United States for the benefit of those in the lands of immigration. This book also includes photos of the stages of Father Mina's life, which I acquired from Sister Mariam. A few sections of the manuscript are transcribed from short video-recorded interviews of clergy and loved ones who served with Father Mina, which were also provided to me by Sister Mariam." In this book, you will follow along through the mere thirty-eight-year-long journey spent by this honored presbyter on the earth. This book introduces his birth and humble beginnings as a servant in his home-city of Aswan, and later in the suburbs of bustling Cairo. It continues to describe his mysterious call to the priesthood in war-torn Sinai, and his courageous witness to the Christian faith, and hence, his brutal, yet triumphant, martyrdom. The reader will become acquainted with the esteem that the Lord God holds for His martyrs, manifested in the events following Father Mina's martyric death. The reader will be encouraged to hold the very same faith as one of our Church's most valuable contemporary martyrs, who persistently emphasized, "My true home is in heaven""--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>On July 6, 2013, Father Mina Abood was martyred.
