The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence is a timeless spiritual classic that invites readers into the heart of everyday communion with God. A humble 17th-century Carmelite lay brother, Brother Lawrence taught that God is as present in the kitchen as in the chapel, and that by cultivating an attitude of constant awareness, one can experience divine peace and joy at all times. This edition features his letters and conversations, which continue to offer simple, profound guidance on living prayerfully in daily life.
