The original guide to "practicing the presence of God" "We must not
grow weary of doing little things for the love of God, who looks
not on the great size of the work, but on the love of it." In this
classic work, which has instructed and inspired millions, a humble
17th-century monk reveals the secrets of daily, moment-by-moment
fellowship with God. "In the way of God, thoughts count very
little," writes Brother Lawrence, who spent much of his monastic
life in the kitchen. "Love does it all." Full of realistic honesty,
friendliness, and simplicity, Brother Lawrence shows that it is
possible to meet God amongst the pots and pans-in the ordinary,
daily events of life. This edition, rendered from the original
French into graceful, contemporary English, will nourish and
delight all those who seek to practice the presence of God.
Boet Cronje is hardkoppig, arrogant en ontken dat sy bruin
regterhand op die plaas eintlik sy halfbroer is. Maar met God as
vennoot, 'n familieplaas en 'n erfgenaam lyk die toekoms vir Boet
aanvanklik belowend. 'n Langdurige droogte en die dood van sy seun
laat hom egter in opstand teen God kom. Die koggelaar vertel die
verhaal van 'n man wat oortuig is dat God hom tart; ironies genoeg
word hy die een wat koggel.
Redeem your story, redefine your creativity, and make a life that
truly matters Sometimes the greatest gift you can receive is for
your life to fall apart. After years stuck in a painful cycle
fueled by past abuse and ongoing addiction, actor, artist, and
director Blaine Hogan finally hit rock bottom. No longer able to
hide behind the veneer of success or find comfort in the shadows of
compulsion, Blaine was forced to look at the story his life was
telling and realize he'd lost the plot. Desperate to find hope, he
gave up a budding career and took a major life detour where he
discovered that facing his past was the key to unlocking a new kind
of creativity. In Exit the Cave, Blaine shares the stories that
shaped him while exploring how our relationship to our past defines
how we imagine the future and live in the present. Through powerful
personal revelations, he invites you to take up the practices of
radical imagination and real creativity so you can tell a better
story with your life. If you've ever been stuck, addicted, ashamed,
discontented, or lost, take courage--a richer, more imaginative,
and meaningful life is waiting for you just outside the cave. "A
tender but fierce story of survival, reckoning, and redemption.
Blaine manages to somehow weave themes of acting, allegory,
addiction, family, and faith into one beautifully written account
of his own healing. This is the kind of story that will redeem
you."--Laura McKowen, bestselling author of We Are the Luckiest
"Blaine Hogan has inspired me for many years with his unique way of
seeing the world. In this book you'll find a blast of inspiration
and a trusty guide to help you exit the cave and enter a world that
is real and beautiful and vital."--Brad Montague, New York Times

Internationally bestselling author and German monk Anselm Grün presents ancient wisdom for leadership today.
Whether you lead a business, a family, a non-profit, or a church group, this book will help you discover the joy of leadership and create a sanctuary where a group of people mobilize their spiritual resources, ask relevant questions, love, trust, and respect one another.
Leadership is not about power, status, and titles. According to the Rule of St. Benedict, true leadership is about awakening creativity in others and building an environment of trust and respect. It’s less about maximizing profits and more about finding meaning.
Radical in its time, this 6th century rule offers an approach to leadership that is clear and refreshing in its simplicity. Benedict is primarily concerned with the characteristics of a leader, and how such a person needs to work on himself in order to be able to lead at all. To Benedict, leading through personality is more important than any methods and strategies.
In this insightful book, Benedictine monk and internationally bestselling author Anselm Grün offers practical wisdom on all aspects of leadership, including:
The Qualities of a Leader
Benedict’s View of Human Nature
Leadership as Service
Awakening Creativity
Management of Material Possessions
Respecting Boundaries
Thinking from the heart
Avoiding workaholism
Benedict’s rule does not moralize or preach. It shows how economic function and economic security for a large number of people can be combined with respecting creation and the human beings around us. Leadership is an art, full of challenges but also deeply satisfying.
"My Walks with Remi - Book Two" is the second book of devotions written by Cindy J. Anderson. Inspired by stunning color photos of nature taken during Cindy's walks with her Portuguese Water Dog, Remi, she invites her readers to see God's presence around them in a unique and thought-provoking way. The photos in each devotion will become visual cues for the reader in their everyday life to remind them of the life-lesson illustrated in each devotion. Walking with Remi amidst his beautiful surroundings in Southern California will help the reader experience God's artistry in the soaring mountains, the sparkling blue of the Pacific Ocean, and the vibrant light that shines on the American Riviera, which makes colors pop against the backdrop of the clear, azure-blue sky.
With Scripture that spans both the Old and New Testaments, the devotions are a witness to how God still speaks to us today. The Scripture verses, photos, reflections, prayers, and life application questions that accompany each devotion will uplift and encourage the reader and help them feel God's presence walking with them each day.
"My Walks with Remi - Book Two" will delight the eyes and nourish the soul.
