Brother Lawrence describes how practicing the presence of God is a method to be closer to God. Since 1692 people have found his book helpful to live their own life in the here and now.

The book is very personable as it was written in letters, “conversations,” with Nicholas Herman, of Lorraine, France. Brother Lawrence was at the bottom of the monastery power structure, working as a shoemaker and kitchen help his whole life. Even there, he was admired for bringing God, and God’s comfort, into his life and the lives of others.

His letters are an inspiration for all who toil.

No student of thought should be without this historic book. This edition is provided in a slim volume with full text at an affordable price.
