Resumen del Editor

The Practice of the Presence of God is a collection of the teachings of Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection (Nicolas Herman, c. 1614 - 1691), a 17th-century Carmelite friar. The book consists of 16 short letters, a collection of spiritual maxims, four conversations written down by Father Joseph de Beaufort and a brief bio, most likely by de Beaufort. The theme of the work is the cultivation and development of an awareness of the presence of God. Lawrence's method of acquiring the presence seems to have required discipline and willpower at first, but once cultivated, it became effortless. The book became quite popular among both Catholics and Protestants, and was praised and recommended by, among others, John Wesley, Willard L Sperry, A. W. Tozer, and Hannah Whitall Smith.

An Example of A Surrendered Life

What I loved most about this book was its simple practicality: Love God above all else! Brother Lawerence,shares the path to the presence of God. He encourages all while warning at the same time this journey is a continuing fight to keep God at the forefront of our lives; but the reward is worth the fight. Walking with God all day every day in sweet communion is the greatest treasure a servant of God can receive. I highly recommend this book for those that are sincerely seeking to dwell in the presence of God.

So good!

Practical and powerful! His view on solitude and suffering is a beautiful testimony of God’s grace and presence.

Must read for modern believers

The importance and simplicity of Practicing God’s presence! Challenge but practical! I have recommended it to several friends.

A wonderful book

A wonderful book filled with the love of God and instructions to draw closer to Him. I would love to have sat down snd had a conversation with Brother Lawerence.

4 stars

Encouraging and convicting book to spur people to never leave God alone, at night. during the day, when we are preoccupied or if we are in retreat. He has some rather strong opinions on how to pray and deal with health problems that are a little too black and white. overall, all Christians should aspire to actively delight in God and be aware of His presence continually until we die.

Wonderful little book

I hope I can practice this faithfully. So grateful for the recommendation to read it from a friend.

Bro Lo shows us what it means to walk with God

His letters humbly show the reader how to walk with God. In the walk, we hear as well as talk with Him. The book helps us with Biblical principles understand what it is like to live with Him in a personal and intimate way.
