Ten Concepts is a clear Christian guide to ten ideas that shape how we live, written by H.H. Pope Shenouda III, Pope and Patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church, for all readers and for young people in particular.
The words we use every day can carry very different meanings. Pope Shenouda takes ten of them and explains how they are rightly understood in the light of the Christian faith:
The Concept of Power; The Concept of Freedom; The Concept of Rest and Fatigue; The Concept of Ambition; The Concept of Sin; The Concept of Love and Friendship; The Concept of Offence; The Concept of Meekness; The Concept of Truth and Justice; The Concept of Knowledge.
His Holiness writes with the prayer that this book "will guard a person from being deceived" by misleading understandings of these concepts. In a world that often redefines freedom, love, success and truth, his teaching gives young people solid ground to stand on.
Ten Concepts is ideal for youth meetings, university students, Sunday school teachers and servants preparing lessons, and parents who want to talk with their teenagers about real Christian values. Every reader will find in it practical wisdom for thinking and living as a Christian.
