Send us Fan Mail Tenth-century Cairo. A shoemaker gouges out his own eye rather than let it wander again — and years later, becomes the answer to an impossible challenge that could get every Christian in Egypt killed. When a Caliph is dared to test his Coptic subjects' faith by making them move a mountain, Pope Abraam has three days to find someone who can actually do it. What he finds is a water carrier so devoted to staying unseen that, even after the mountain rises off the ground in front ...
Send us Fan Mail In the 1940s, a fourteen-year-old girl in Upper Egypt is carried in spirit to a convent she's never seen, led there by a soldier who's been dead for over a thousand years. She grows up to become Ommena Irini, Abbess of the Convent of Abu Seifein. She rebuilds a failing community using a manuscript that seemed to appear out of nowhere, comforts a grieving nation after a bus tragedy with a vision of glory, and, by her own account, walks straight into the bedroom of the Presiden...

And then he walked away from the movement he founded — straight into an active war zone, unarmed, expecting to die. What he found instead was a Sultan willing to listen. Picking up where Part One ended, this episode follows Francesco across enemy lines at Damietta, back to an order growing beyond his control, and finally up a mountain called La Verna — where his body would carry wounds that never healed...
Send us Fan Mail A merchant's son. A born performer. A boy who wanted the whole town to say his name. Francesco di Bernardone had everything money could buy in the hill town of Assisi — fine cloth, French songs, a crowd that gathered wherever he did. What he wanted was glory. A knight's glory. The kind sung about in taverns a hundred years later. He rode out to war to get it. He came home in chains instead. What followed was a year in a prison cell, a vision he couldn't shake, and a lepe...
Send us Fan Mail A priest. A wife who begged him to come inside. A street he refused to leave. Sinai, 2013. Egypt has just broken open. The security outside the churches is gone. Everyone knows what that means. Abouna Mina Aboud knows too — and he stays anyway. This is the true story of a boy who lost his father too young, found God in the silence that followed, waited years for a calling that seemed like it would never come — and became, in the end, a shepherd in the fullest sense of the wor...
