Life in God's Presence

Every soul aspires to be one with God. Spiritual guides have suggested numerous strategies for attaining such an intimate relationship over the millennia. But those sincerely invested in the spiritual life know there is no shortcut to finding God. There is only one true path: through Christ.

This short volume, written in the early twentieth century by an unnamed Carthusian monk, offers a clear and practical means to enhance one's personal holiness. Life in God's Presence proclaims, based on Christ's own words in the Gospels, that God offers every soul the means to oneness with Him via the virtues of faith, hope, and charity. These characteristics, when combined with a simple, childish approach to prayer, can help a soul to recognize God's presence in all aspects of daily life. Eternal life does not have to begin after death if we consistently and sincerely offer Him "all of our time, all of our power, our entire soul."
