This enduring classic of devotion consists of the letters and recorded conversations of a simple seventeenth-century lay brother who, through the most ordinary of activities, was able to achieve a profound intimacy with God. At any moment and in any circumstance, he taught, we can practice the presence of God by thinking on Him, loving Him, and offering up our daily tasks as acts of worship. This volume also includes Brother Lawrences Spiritual Maxims, a summary of his teachings in the form of short aphorisms and sayings.
