Spiritual Nourishment by the late Bishop Youanis is an Orthodox spiritual growth book on the spiritual food every Christian needs to keep growing steadily in virtue and Christian service, for university students, young adults and catechism classes.
This volume belongs to the Christian Living Series, the fruit of a catechism class that Bishop Youanis taught to university students who came to Cairo from other regions to study. For some fifty years these chapters have been a handbook for many Christians on their spiritual journey and a source of direction to many. Now they are presented in English.
Just as the body needs regular food to stay healthy, the soul needs nourishment to grow. This book sets out the necessary nourishments of the spiritual life, with chapters on:
Bible Reading; Spiritual Reading; Retreats; Service.
Bishop Youanis writes with the clarity of a teacher and the warmth of a pastor, giving practical guidance that readers can put into practice straight away.
Spiritual Nourishment is ideal for university students and young adults, for catechism and youth classes, and for servants and Sunday school teachers looking for sound Orthodox material to teach from. Readers can continue with the other volumes of the series, including Sacramental Life, Spiritual Concepts and Christian Virtues.
