Encounters With Christ: Seeing the Father in Jesus

By Hegumen Abraam Sleman

What does it mean to truly encounter Jesus? In every Gospel meeting - at a tax booth, a city gate, a well, a sycamore tree, a tomb - the same mystery unfolds: to meet the Son is to meet the Father who sent Him.

Encounters With Christ brings together five previously published volumes into one unified spiritual and theological journey. Through five profound Gospel encounters - Matthew at the tax booth, the widow at the gate of Nain, Zacchaeus on the sycamore tree, the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, and Lazarus called from the tomb - Hegumen Abraam Sleman shows that each story is not merely a moment of healing or calling, but a revelation of the Father's heart.

Drawing deeply from Scripture and the witness of the early Church Fathers - including John Chrysostom, Augustine, Jerome, and Gregory the Great - this book invites readers to see the Gospels with fresh eyes: not as a collection of miracles and moral lessons, but as a continuous unfolding of the Father reaching toward humanity through His Son.

Encounters With Christ is written for every believer who longs to move beyond distant faith into a living relationship - one that begins not with our seeking, but with His call.

The same Father still seeks. The same Son still calls. Come and see.
