Overview

In Sacrifice of Praise, Bishop Raphael invites you to rediscover one of the most beautiful and overlooked parts of Christian life: the power of praise. More than music, more than routine, praise is the soul's response to God's presence. It is the breath of the Church and the heartbeat of heaven. This book follows the story of praise from Genesis to Revelation. It begins with silence after the Fall and ends with the unending song of the saints before the throne of God. Along the way, you'll walk through the praises of Moses, David, the prophets, the Virgin Mary, the Apostles, and the early Church. You'll see how praise sustained the faithful in times of exile, persecution, and waiting. Bishop Raphael draws deeply from Scripture, liturgy, and the Coptic Orthodox tradition to show how praise is more than words. It is training for eternity. It forms the soul. It draws heaven near. This book is for anyone who wants to understand the meaning behind the Church's hymns and vigils. For those who love praise. And for those who struggle with it and want to learn. Whether you are standing in the midnight praise, reading the Psalms at home, or just beginning your journey with God, this book will help you enter into praise with understanding and joy. Because praise is not just something we do. It's who we are becoming.
