My American Flight to Egypt

By Anastasia Young and Thilo Young

Book Overview

My American Flight to Egypt by Thilo Young is a real and engaging story about a couple's pursuit of God. Maintaining their roots at the forefront of consideration, they recount how God has revealed Himself in their lives and took them by the hand to lead them into the Orthodox faith of Egypt. They colorfully illustrate their experiences and the ramifications of their conversion while suggesting a fair and critical analysis of themselves and their churches. In preaching after Eutropius had been taken captive, St. John Chrysostom taught, "When thou takest refuge in a Church, do not seek shelter merely in the place but in the spirit of the place. For the Church is not wall and roof but faith and life." The Coptic Orthodox Church is beautiful, filled with all the fullness of God. She is a mother and a harbor for those who sorrow or are in distress. She guards the deposit of faith, and through the work of the Holy Spirit, she passes it on to her children throughout the generations. The Church has spirit, faith, and life, and Thilo and Anastasia were able to discover it.
