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.
"This edition of a timeless classic--enhanced by Emergent leader
Tony Jones--will appeal to college students, readers new to
Christian classics, and anyone else who desires to learn how to
make spirituality a moment-by-moment way of life." Brother Lawrence's "Practice of the Presence of God" has stood
the test of time because it chronicles the life of a very ordinary
person who became an extraordinary Christian. Through a life of
humility and service, Brother Lawrence achieved something that many
Christians aspire to: he was so concentrated on God that God became
a part of his every breath. Whether deep in prayer or peeling
potatos in the kitchen, he knew God's presence. This readable translation, replete with enlightening background notes, will appeal to today's reader in ways that no other edition has been able to do.
With today's accelerated pace of life, preoccupation with careers,
and family demands, there is little time for celebrating our
humanity--and even less time for seeking God. So how does a
twentieth-century believer set about living as a Christian in such
a society?
