The Practice of the Presence of God: and The Spiritual Maxims

"Believe me, count as lost each day you have not used in loving God." — Brother Lawrence This simply written little book about prayer and Christian life conveys a humble man's thoughts on the importance of experiencing God's love. A seventeenth-century French Carmelite, Brother Lawrence spent much of his time in the kitchen of a Paris monastery. Of this experience, he said: "The time of business does not with me differ from the time of prayer, and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen … I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees at the blessed sacrament." A collection of Lawrence's messages given to those who lived around him, this book contains The Practice of the Presence of God and The Spiritual Maxims. Both have much to say to modern readers about living a spiritual life in a busy world. Features a foreword by Matthew Fox, author of Sheer Joy.
