Journeys To The Bright Morning Star


Book Description

I awoke after a vision and a spoken word with a commission to write, Journeys To The Bright Morning Star based on actual experienced events. Each chapter is introduced and interwoven throughout by one or more of these astonishing accounts. Unlike John Bunyan’s renowned, Pilgrim's Progress written in 1675, with its monsters, demons and angels, the main character and the supernatural events are not fictitious.

The Hero’S Journey


Book Description

Were all on a heros journey. You cant get through your life without some kind of heroism, particularly when you have to change most of what you believed in before you could really see, and Lucifer now seems the brighter angel for his fall. The man on the cover of this volume thought he was taking a photograph of me but held the camera in a such a way that he photographed only himself. Theres major truth in what he did. When we aim to capture something about the world, its really just ourselves that we capture. All that we say about the world we live in and observe is always about extracted pieces of that world as they have been processed, rinsed, and most certainly, altered through our own experiences, our senses, our ideology, our beliefs, and whatever other filters we employ.

My Journey


Book Description

My journey is documented in this two-volume book numbers 14th and 15th of my series “Christianity and the Human Brain”. My journey is a testimony to Lord Jesus who took me by the hand from being a dismal soul to a renown neurosurgeon and anesthesiologist through a dream I had in 1974 with his words: “Son study all these books in my hand and I shall bless you and bless your patients”. Why medicine? Why study the brain and the nervous system? This is the story of my calling, which had a pessimistic reputation among students and doctors at that time. For me, it was a window to experience the Hand of God in man, and I dedicate all that I had to the Human brain and Neuroscience. Nothing since then has been able to detour me from my intense mission and passion which my Lord set before me. As I am a minority Christian in Egypt, a religion persecuted continually, with obstacles unending yet conquered. Doors were shut before my eyes. Unexpectedly, plan “A” was surrendered as the right door opened. Thus, the birth of my divine journey in Medicine and Neuroscience began. Today, 35 years later, I continue to dedicate my life to my Lord, my patients and the residents I mentor. The fulfillment of my joy is when my Almighty helps me to care for my patients and guides my hand in both neurosurgery and the teaching of coming generations. There are many stories and reflections to share with you. Lessons learned in various topics. It is my honor to share with you my journey and my Joy. The two volume books contain 181 chapters, distributed in twenty sections (ten in each volume) covering major highlights in my life journey. In addition to deep reflections from my own life stories in faith and medicine, topics include Jesus, love, patient care, the human brain, neurosurgery, illness, residents, healthcare crises, meditations and memories over four decades. I hope you, the reader, to take the positives of my journey and find it useful to your own journey as a participant sojourning in this world with me. Blessed are those striving early on in their life to serve our Savior Jesus Christ, to him is the glory for ever and ever, Amen.




A Journey of Faith


Book Description

Prophecy is not new. It has always been with us. This gift from the Holy Spirit is still working today; however, we must be careful to confirm it with the Word of God (the Bible). His Word will always confirm it in our minds and hearts. A few years ago, I was called to be a street preacher and to reach people for Christ. I also visited churches to share the messages I had received with pastors and Christians wherever I went. God’s Word is true, and God is always faithful to his Word. My Father Yahweh is always good, perfect, and just. He seeks to have a closer relationship with each one of us. I encourage you to grow closer to him by praying, reading the Bible, and listening to him. Know that God still speaks to us today, as he did long ago through the prophets. I encourage you to grow in Christ, for he offers us salvation and a bright and glorious destiny. God bless you and thank you for your interest in prophecy.




Journey of the Soul


Book Description

Can anything be more agonizing than the burden of an idea that we are doomed to die at the end? Imagine all your struggles on this earth, and the experiences you had acquired, will one day be gone as that flash of life energy leaves the encumbered casing. That is exactly what most people accept to be true. Our inability to understand our soul’s journeys is our inability to understand our physical and immaterial existence. That most of us cannot differentiate physical material and nonphysical immaterial existence is reason enough not to understand creation and its purpose. But once we understand, we begin to see the purpose for physical material death and the reason for the immaterial part of us to rejuvenate by taking a new cocoon—a new body—to continue its journeys and its purpose to learn and experience. Always remember that life existed before creations.
