Product Description

•••••

Here is a guidance for all Christians seeking oneness with God, which is the ultimate desire of the soul, according to Brother Lawrence. The new Image version of The Practice of the Presence of God is a reprint of the original 1977 translation, which was the first in decades. It includes an in-depth Introduction by John J. Delaney that looks at what is known about Lawrence's life, how the book came to be, and how it has remained relevant across the decades.

In the words of this humble seventeenth-century lay Carmelite, "we must trust God once and for all and abandon ourselves to Him alone." This challenging endeavour requires endurance and constant communication with God in all actions, great and small. "speaking humbly and talking lovingly with Him at all times, at every moment, without rule or system..." We will discover the secret to unending joy by reading these discussions, letters, and spiritual maxims.

In a nutshell, this little spiritual classic with this fresh, modern English translation, makes Brother Lawrence's simple advice accessible to any Christian seeking the fullness of life.
