Jesus in Egypt

Discovering the Secrets of Christ's Childhood Years

De: Paul Perry

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Did the Holy Family truly flee to Egypt to escape the murderous wrath of King Herod? The Bible contains but a few verses about the years the Holy Family spent in Egypt, but is there living proof that they did? And if so, what exactly happened to Jesus and His parents in this ancient land of myth and magic? How did the sojourn in Egypt change Jesus' life and influence His teachings? In search of answers, bestselling author Paul Perry set out to follow the Holy Family's mysterious journey himself. In this fascinating book, Perry tells the story of his own amazing trek into Egypt to seek evidence of Jesus in Egypt.

With the help of the Egyptian Christian Pope, Perry was able to draw a map of the Holy Family's route through Egypt, from their entrance into the country across the burning sands of the Sinai Desert to their zigzagging path down to the Nile. With devout guides and temperamental transportation, he ventured to find the places where Jesus had slept, suffered, performed amazing miracles and bold destruction of pagan temples. In the north of Egypt, he came upon an enormous field of fallen idols that - legend says - the infant Jesus had toppled and broken. On the wall of a hermit cave in central Egypt he found amazing fourth-century paintings of Jesus coming to Egypt. Near the spot where an angel was said to have appeared to Joseph, Perry photographed an apparition of light, a photo been declared a "spiritual message from the Lord" by an Egyptian bishop.

Part travel adventure, part spiritual journey, part historical detective story, this extraordinary book unfolds a chapter in the life of Jesus that has been shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding for two thousand years. Combining ancient texts, interviews with local experts, and his own startling encounters with contemporary Egypt, Perry has fashioned a book of wonder and revelations.
