The practice of the presence of God

Must read
I have wanted to read this book for many years. I don’t know why I waited so long. It is fairly short, so overall it doesn’t take long to read. Some of the language is a little dated. So at times you have to think about what Brother Lawrence is trying to convey. His thoughts are filled with such insight. He talks about how he goes about his daily life, always pursuing to remain in God’s presence, always trying to please the Lord, and clinging to God in his suffering. What joy this man has found. He simply lived for God alone. Every moment of every day. May we learn to abide in the Lord this way.
