The Practice Of The Presence Of God

This enduring classic of devotion consists of the letters and recorded conversations of a simple seventeenth-century French monk who, through the most ordinary of everyday activities, was able to achieve a profound intimacy with God. "At any moment and in any circumstance," Brother Lawrence taught, "the soul that seeks God may find Him, and practice the presence of God." His joyful and practical teachings have resonated with Christians for more than three hundred years.
This volume also includes Brother Lawrence's "Spiritual Maxims," a summary of his teachings in the form of short aphorisms and sayings.
