About The Book
An inside look into the forgotten years of Jesus’ childhood, uncovering how Egypt’s ancient wisdom and sacred sites shaped His early life and teachings.
The Bible tells us little of the years the Holy Family spent in Egypt, their flight from Herod’s death sentence, the weary journey, and eventual return to Israel after Herod died. But what truly happened in this land of ancient magic, saints, and mysteries? How did Egypt’s culture, myths, and spiritual traditions shape Jesus’s life and influence His teachings?
Embark on a breathtaking journey in search of these answers with Jesus in Egypt from bestselling author Paul Perry. Following the Holy Family’s footsteps, Perry explores the Coptic churches, desert shrines, bustling Cairo streets, and sacred sites shrouded in legend of ancient Egypt.
Combining ancient texts, firsthand discoveries, and interviews with Christian scholars and clerics, Perry reveals forgotten miracles, astonishing legends, and hidden truths about Jesus’ formative years. Part travel adventure, part spiritual quest, part historical detective story, this captivating book is a modern-day pilgrimage through faith, history, and all its wonders.
