The Release Of The Spirit

The Release of the Spirit is a spiritual classic by H.H. Pope Shenouda III, the 117th Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church, for every Christian who longs for true spiritual freedom and a closer life with God.

Pope Shenouda teaches that real freedom is not found in worldly comfort. It is found in being set free from sin, pride, self-will and attachment to earthly desires. Drawing on Scripture, the Desert Fathers and the tradition of the Coptic Orthodox Church, he calls readers to a life of prayer, repentance, humility and inner change.

Each chapter joins theological depth with poetic, meditative writing that speaks to both heart and mind, leading the reader toward holiness, silence and communion with God. It is one of Pope Shenouda's best-known books and continues to inspire Christians around the world.

Ideal for personal spiritual reading, Bible study groups, and anyone interested in Coptic and Eastern Orthodox spirituality.
