Summary
Details

"The practice of the Presence of God is the shortest and easiest Way to attain to Christian perfection: it is the Form and Life of Virtue, it is the great Preservative from Sin. The practice will become easy, if we have but courage and a good will. - Brother Lawrence

The value of this little book is its extreme simplicity. What Brother Lawrence did all can do. No theological training nor any especial theological views are needed for the blessed ""practice"" he recommended. This little book fits into the lives of all human beings, let them be rich or poor, learned or unlearned, wise or simple. It requires neither time, nor talents, nor training. At any moment, in the midst of any occupation, under any circumstances, the soul that wants to know God can ""practise the presence"" and can come to the knowledge.

This new large print edition, designed to make reading comfortable, comes with an introduction by Hannah Whitall Smith and includes a selection of sayings taken from the writings of Brother Lawrence, under the title ""Gathered Thoughts""."
