The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence Paperback

"By rising after my falls, and by frequently renewed acts of faith and love, I am come to a state wherein it would be as difficult for me not to think of God as it was at first to accustom myself to it." "The Practice of the Presence of God," compiled by Father Joseph de Beaufort, is a collection of the wisdom and teachings of Brother Lawrence, a 17th century Carmelite monk, a very ordinary person who became an extraordinary Christian. Through a life of humility and service, Brother Lawrence achieved something that all true Christians aspire to - for God to became a part of his every breath whether deep in prayer or peeling potatoes in the kitchen, Brother Lawrence knew God's presence and wished to share his experiences and philosophy with the world. n
