“My friend, you are walking on the spiritual path" writes His Holiness Pope Shenouda III of blessed memory, who was the Pope and Patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church for over four decades. His years on the Apostolic Chair of St. Mark were truly extraordinary, as he shepherded the Church during Her unprecedented growth beyond Egypt into the lands of immigration and dealing with numerous challenges in all wisdom, discernment, and pastoral love. Yet, his concern remained unwavering for the spiritual growth of the Church's children, his own "sons and daughters" as he would say. And so, His Holiness, offers his own guidance, experience and wisdom on not only his own spiritual path, but yours as well. What is the spiritual path? Where does it lead? Are you deviating from it? What if you are lost? With an amazing weave of Scripture, patristics, Church tradition and poetry, His Holiness tackles all these questions and more in his uniquely sincere, personal and profound address to you.This book is a new, complete and original translation of His Holiness Pope Shenouda’s Arabic book maʿālim al-ṭarīq al-rūḥy, published 1989 by Anba Rewis Press in Cairo. This edition has been reviewed and edited by ACTS Press under the leadership and guidance of His Eminence Metropolitan Serapion and His Grace Bishop Kyrillos.This book is not simply one book about the spiritual life. It contains a summary of the major essential aspects of the Orthodox Christian life with God. As such, it is essential reading for all.

All That I Have Is Yours is a book of daily spiritual meditations that beautifully interweaves together 100 stories of encounters with St. Pope Kyrillos VI, along with 100 unique and penetrating meditations on the spiritual life. Each chapter begins with a verse from the Psalms following the daily order and structure of the Coptic Orthodox Book of Hours (Agpeya). Hence, the readings begin with prayer and guide the reader to a greater appreciation and use of the Psalter. The predominant theme of these stories and spiritual meditations is the love of God; the creative, redemptive, and salvific love of God which draws us into a privileged divine filiation with our Heavenly Father and Who says to us, “Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.” (Luke 15:31).

Confession and Guidance is written informally, intentionally. It is not filled with extensive quotes or verses, and is written mostly in first-person voice. The reason for this is that it is meant to reflect what guidance is supposed to be: personal. Something gets lost when some things that are not meant to be academic become academic. It seems important that this book remains casual. With a topic like spiritual guidance, so much is subjective. Speaking formally may cause a wrong sense of being too prescriptive on the one hand, or too presumptuous on the other.
