Paradise Regained by Edward Shafik is based on real events. Paradise Regained (ISBN 9781937520731)  tells the story of Egyptian Coptic Christians who were massacred for their faith in a terrorist act secretly sponsored by the Muslim-dominated government. The story explores Egypt’s rich culture and traditions while painting an unforgettable image of the collision between Christianity and Islam. Shafik used Biblical facts and extensive research in creating Paradise Regained

“Paradise Regained is a colorful tapestry of real events woven into a spiritual realm. The reader is  suddenly  surrounded by unforgettable characters in fast action scenes that lead to the tragic death of six young Coptic Martyrs in front of St. Mary Coptic Orthodox church in Nag Hammadi, Egypt.

With powerful words, Ed Shafik transport the readers from the hot and humid desert weather to the Third Heaven, which St. Paul visited but didn’t describe what he had seen.

Edward Shafik is a master story teller that reminds me of literary giants such as Leo Tolstoy, Charles Dickens, and Naguib Mahfouz, the first Egyptian writer to win a Nobel Prize.
