CONTENT DESCRIPTION
This is the third part (out of four) of the book series that deals with common questions from believers regarding theological, biblical and social issues. This edition focuses on spiritual and more general problems.

GENERAL COMMENTS
Pope Shenouda III stated that the book series came from the fact that he had been received thousands of questions from the community on various issues (theological, dogmatic, social...) and he decided to select some of them and wrote four books where he answered the selected questions. This way, Pope Shenouda was able to directly connect with the members of the community and share his and the Church's views on various issues. In this part, he covers issues such as understanding and resisting bad thoughts, stances on drinking wine and organ transplantation, how to follow the lives of the saints, how to deal with problems, etc.
