This classic book has given blessing and instruction to countless Christians through the years.

Brother Lawrence (1605-1691) was a man of humble beginnings who discovered how to live in the kingdom of God while here on earth. It is the art of “practicing the presence of God in one single act that does not end.” God paints himself in the depths of our souls, and we must merely open our hearts to receive that presence.

Brother Lawrence learned an important lesson through each daily chore: the time he spent in communion with the Lord should be the same, whether he was bustling around in the kitchen—with several people asking questions at the same time—or on his knees in prayer. He learned to cultivate the deep presence of God so thoroughly in his own heart that he was able to joyfully exclaim, “I am doing now what I will do for all eternity. I am blessing God, praising Him, adoring Him, and loving Him with all my heart.”

This book is a collection of 4 conversations with, and 15 letters written by, Brother Lawrence. Ths is why the subtitle is "Being Conversations and Letters of Nicholas Herman of Lorraine, Brother Lawrence".
