Millions have learned to live in the presence of God through
this simple book written by a humble monastery cook. Published
first in French in 1692, The Practice of the Presence of God
is a classic for everyone who has a heart that is hungry for
more of God—whose “soul thirsts for God, for the living God.”
Amid his pots and pans, the author, Brother Lawrence, became so
noted for his serenity and joy while he worked at the most
menial kitchen tasks, that cardinals and theologians came to see
him to learn his secret—even the pope of his day is said to have
visited him. |
