The Practice of the Presence of God

2016 Reprint of 1895 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Brother Lawrence was a man of humble beginnings who discovered the greatest secret of living in the kingdom of God here on earth. It is the art of "practicing the presence of God in one single act that does not end." He often stated that it is God who paints Himself in the depths of our soul. We must merely open our hearts to receive Him and His loving presence. For centuries this unparalleled classic has given both blessing and instruction to those who can be content with nothing less than knowing God in all His majesty and feeling His loving presence throughout each simple day.

This little book is written with a divine simplicity that will fill your soul with light and your heart with longing for more of the Presence of God. Some followers of Jesus are so drenched in the Presence of God that every word they speak or write is like divine osmosis. Brother Lawrence is that kind of Jesus follower. I read this book on my Sabbath and experienced God gently and lovingly speaking to me through it in a tangible way. Brother Lawrence makes daily living in the Presence of God simple and dispels the myth that only the spiritually elite can know God intimately. I am going to be recommending this book to all my friends.

Easily read, but hard to fathom. An amazing description of a humble life that it's wholly devoted to the Love of God. Truly remarkable, and very concise in its description.
