ToC and Editor’s Preface – THE PRACTICE OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD – Brother Lawrence

A gentle man of joyful spirit, Brother Lawrence shunned attention and the limelight, knowing that outside distraction "spoils all". It was not until after his death that a few of his letters were collected. - Lightheart

In this small book, through letters and conversations, Brother Lawrence simply and beautifully explains how to continually walk with God – not from the head but from the heart.
