The Release of the Spirit Edited

This book is the first published book by His Holiness Pope Shenouda III, who was Pope and Patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church. He began writing this book as articles in the Sunday School magazine in 1951, before he joined the monastery. He completed the book as a monk and it was first published in Arabic in 1975. "Release of the Spirit", means its release from whatever hinders its liberty and its way to God. This fourth edition has been fully revised to help bring the full meaning of what was written to English. We pray this work and this book will continue to be a blessing for its readers for many generations to come as it has been to many generations in the past.
