Marriage as an answer to the call of complete offering of oneself to God
By John Saad
Can married life be a complete offering of oneself to God? My master's thesis explores marriage as a sacred vocation and a path of salvation, alongside monasticism. It considers love, asceticism, and the sacramental life of husband and wife in the Orthodox tradition.

His Life · His Talents · His Virtues · His Miracles
By Hegumen Mikhail Saad · English translation by John Saad
My English translation of my grandfather's book on Saint Anba Abram, Bishop of Fayoum (1829–1914). Hegumen Mikhail Saad gathered accounts of the saint's life, his care for the poor, his virtues, and his miracles. The book includes a foreword by Anba Shenouda, then Bishop of Religious Institutes and Church Education.

The memoir is available here without charge. Publication details for the other books will follow when they are ready.
