J: The whole Holy Bible (in a true translation) is the most important book to read and learn from, for always, “the witness of God is greater”: It is the true eternal living words of God for life forevermore. Inerrant and immutable, it will always be the greater testimony!
However, this book is, “if the witness of man be good…” remains the helpful words of man that have endured in “Practicing the Presence of God”, it acknowledges: The righteous, gracious Heavenly Father we have in Christ Jesus, His Son; the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world! AND most vitally, that Jesus the Christ wants, seeks and delights in a close personal relationship with every believer. The author reminds us to always and continually magnify and praise the Lord God Christ Jesus in every situation and work we are involved in! Perpetually, giving thanks and praise, glory and honor to our Lord and Savior God, from the moment we open our eyes in the morning and until we close them at night: magnify and rejoice in the Lord God.
Are you seeking to know Jesus Christ as your Savior God? Ask Him for forgiveness; repent! Though our sins be as scarlet, the LORD says “… they shall be...

matt linardy: Br. Lawrence explains a simple path to experience God's love and friendship here on earth. Reminiscent of St. Therese of the child Jesus' "little way".

Amazon Customer: A lot to meditate upon in terms of the love of God and our duty to abide.
I cannot agree concerning the physical suffering, which is so often from the enemy and ought not to be embraced so readily. Oftentimes we open doors through disobedience or ignorance. Indeed we must lean upon Him, not asking why in an accusatory tone. That doesn't mean that we can't enquire as to any barriers or hinderances. We would do well to, as part of the process of aligning ourselves and seeking His face.
Strongly recommended overall through, especially for our busy distracted souls.

Michael Foret: Brother Lawrence, born Nicolas Herman in Lorraine, France, lived through most of the 1600s and passed most of his life in a Carmelite monastery in Paris. Because of his lack of education he became what was known then as a "lay brother," that is, he took vows but was not an ordained priest. However, despite being a humble kitchen worker, he impressed so many of his fellow monks with his extraordinary piety that people even came to see him from outside the monastery, and he attracted correspondents as well. One of his visitors was the priest Joseph de Beaufort, who later became a high official in the Archdiocese of Paris. After Lawrence's death, and against his explicit wishes as expressed in one of the letters included in this little book, Beaufort published notes he had taken on several of his visits to Brother Lawrence, as well as letters the monk wrote to him and to several other recipients.
This is a very slim collection that can easily be read straight through in an hour or so. According to Brother Lawrence, as the result of a profound spiritual experience he set out to cultivate a sense of God's presence by continually conversing with him. Continually talking to God...
