<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This simply written little book about prayer and Christian life combines two classics in one -- each a primer of practical Christian devotion that beautifully conveys the thoughts of a 17th-century Carmelite monk.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"Believe me, count as lost each day you have not used in loving God." -- Brother Lawrence<br>This simply written little book about prayer and Christian life conveys a humble man's thoughts on the importance of experiencing God's love. A seventeenth-century French Carmelite, Brother Lawrence spent much of his time in the kitchen of a Paris monastery. Of this experience, he said: "The time of business does not with me differ from the time of prayer, and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen ... I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees at the blessed sacrament."<br>A collection of Lawrence's messages given to those who lived around him, this book contains <i>The Practice of the Presence of God</i> and <i>The Spiritual Maxims</i>. Both have much to say to modern man about living a spiritual life in a busy world. More widely read today than ever, these two classics -- each an easily accessible primer of practical Christian devotion -- comprise a particularly good selection with which to begin spiritual studies.
