Crossing the Suez Canal

To write about this book brings me honor and joy. For these recollections clearly show the greatness, ability, love, and protection of the Lord. To Him be the glory. It also shows the greatness of what Engineer Samy Hanna Ibrahim did in the October 1973 war. After he himself ascended it, he penetrated the high earth wall and crossed the Egyptian forces assigned to his crossing access from the west of the Suez Canal to the eastern shore. Thus, he contributed to the victory of a war, which returned Sinai to Egypt. That return changed Egypt for the better after its setback in June 1967.

I am pleased to present to the reader this book whose author aims with every story, in every situation, and at every memory to testify about God's continuous work, steadfast support, and God's ever-flowing grace. The book recounts the life story of an ordinary person who placed himself, his being, and the details of his life in the hands of God. We go on a journey with the writer, in which he takes us to the different stations of his life, especially the period he spent as an officer in the Egyptian Armed Forces during the glorious October War in 1973.
