My Holy Mentor: Spiritual Teachings of Pope Kyrillos VI

by George Bebawi

Dr George Bebawi was a disciple of Fr Mina the Recluse (later Pope Kyrillos VI), learning from him over a period of a few years. In 2014, Dr Bebawi published a memoir in Arabic that contained the teachings and conversations he learned from Fr Mina. Two succeeding installments were also published. The three Arabic books have been translated and combined into this single English volume that contains Dr Bebawi's recollection of Fr Mina's teachings. The teachings in the book touch on many aspects of Orthodox spirituality including liturgy, praise, prayer, and the name of the Lord Jesus. May this book bring benefit to others and may the prayers of Pope Kyrillos be with us.
