"The Practice of the Presence of God"
I am reviewing the first book of this duo, "The Practice of the Presence of God." If you never read another book in your life, this is the one to read! Brother Lawrence's letters to various friends asking for his advice is spiritually impeccable!
After his life as a foot solder, Brother Lawrence enters a monastery. And there he experiences a spiritual journey with many twists and turns. He then concludes that what he desires most is to become pleasing to God, by practicing what he refers to as the, "practice of the presence of God."
I began to learn from Brother Lawrence, what this experience is like. This spiritual experience is like no other!
While assisting my sister in her used bookstore, I experienced my first pleasing, presence of God. I picked up a book to put it on a bookshelf, the act became sacred. God was there, watching me touch each of the works as if it was for his eyes only. I was transcended into His world of peace and holiness!
I have read this small book at least 25 times. Every time I read it, I am blessed a million times over!
