Description: "This classic work--the original guide to "practicing the presence of God"--has inspired millions of people in a variety of editions since it was first published after the author's death in 1691. Brother Lawrence was a humble monk who spent much of his monastic life working in the kitchen. His life and writings reveal the secrets of daily, moment-by-moment fellowship with God. "In the way of God, thoughts count very little," he says. Full of realistic honesty, friendliness, and simplicity, 'The Practice of the Presence of God' shows that it's possible to meet God among the pots and pans--in the ordinary, daily events of life" --Cover, p.4.
