Inhaltsangabe

If you wish to know your Lord in a deeper way, you are invited to join the vast host of Christians who, over three centuries, have turned to this book more than any other--except the Scriptures--in order to begin that journey to the depths of Christ. Imagine a book that is 300 years old and has never been out of print! Such is the book you hold in your hands. Other than Pilgrim's Progress, there is probably no other piece of Christian literature that has stood the test of the centuries so well. An estimated 22 million copies of the original The Practice of the Presence of God have been printed in the English language alone. In recent years, however, interest in this book has waned as the original English edition became so outdated that it was virtually unreadable. The publishers have now revised and reissued this book under the title Practicing His Presence and the profundity, depth, and beauty of Brother Lawrence's masterpiece lives again! We have included in this edition, not only the letters of Brother Lawrence--from the 17th century--but also those of Frank Laubauch--from the 20th century--who, like Brother Lawrence before him, wrote a series of letters chronicling his experiences in practicing the presence of Jesus Christ.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Brother Lawrence, born Nicolas Herman around 1614, was a French soldier who later entered a Carmelite monastery in Paris as a lay brother. Assigned largely to kitchen work and other humble duties, he developed a spiritual practice centered on maintaining a continual awareness of God's presence during every activity.His conversations, letters, and spiritual teachings were collected after his death and published as The Practice of the Presence of God. Valued for their simplicity, warmth, and practical wisdom, his writings have become classics of Christian devotional literature and continue to guide readers seeking a deeper life of prayer.
