Summary

Brother Lawrence decided that he needed to concentrate on a simple idea: loving God in whatever he did. The Practice of the Presence of God is a record of the conversations and letters exchanged between Brother Lawrence and people in his community, who came to him for advice once they noticed his passionate living for God.

As a Man Thinketh, by James Allen, gives examples to illustrate how "mind is the master weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance," so that people may begin to weave in enlightenment and happiness.

Critic reviews

"Published originally at the end of the seventeenth century, this book has endured for three centuries and is more widely read today than ever. This book was written for all seekers aspiring to union with God which, according to Brother Lawrence, is the ultimate goal of every soul." ( Ingram)

Horrible!

Do not even bother to waste your precious time, the readers voice is so not suited for such an important message. Please read the original book instead.
