A Long Walk with Mary: A Personal Search for the Mother of God

A Sacred Beginning: Nurturing Your Body, Mind, and Soul during Baby's First Forty Days

A Silent Patriarch: Kyrillos VI (1902–1971) is the first scholarly biography of the desert hermit who became a most unlikely patriarch. Until now the details of his life have remained hidden. As patriarch, Kyrillos inherited a bleeding church, one confronted by political Islamism, an indifferent Muslim president, and the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood. Silent in the face of persecution, mockery, and criticism, Kyrillos stood at the head of a nearly impossible spiritual revolution. But by the time he reposed, everything had changed.

In this lucid biography, Daniel Fanous traces Kyrillos’ life from childhood, drawing upon hundreds of letters and sources never before seen, detailing Kyrillos’ unusual method of ecclesial reform, which speaks enduringly to the uncertainties of the present age. This is the story of Kyrillos VI, a most unlikely patriarch, and a silent urban recluse.

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).

Children in the Church Today: An Orthodox Perspective

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.
