Brother Lawrence
Cosimo Classics, 2006
Wonderful Book of Knowing God and Being in His Presence!
This is a wonderful book on faith to read and reflect upon. I won this edition of the book in a Pentecost Praise Poetry Contest, sponsored by Brain Strand, in Aylesbury, England. I won the first prize and was mailed a copy of the book.

Brother Lawrence

A must read
This little book is a must read for everyone trying to get closer to God. You don't have to commit a time for prayer, you can silently praise God throughout the day as you go about your work and in your quiet moments. The rewards far outweigh these simple efforts.

The Practice of the Presence of God1 review
Brother Lawrence
Scroll Publishing Co., 2007
Practicing the Presence of God
Brother Lawrence writes beautifully and simply of the blessing
of learning to practice God's presence, to seek God in everything,
significant and trivial. His writing makes one think about becoming
more aware that God is near, even in the most menial of tasks.Talk to
Him. He is waiting. Thank Him for every mystery of life. This small
book can make a big difference in one's life.

Practicing God's Presence: Brother Lawrence For Today's reader 5 reviews
Robert Elmer, Brother Lawrence
NavPress Publishing Group, 2005
Deep enough to change your thinking.
This book attracted my attention immediately. I've heard of Brother Lawrence for twenty years, but each time I read a piece by him, I bogged down in the archaic language. Elmer takes the meat of Brother Lawrence's philosophy/religious tenets and puts them in words I can relate to. I intend to read this small volume several times. The first time was rewarding, but the material is so rich, it ...
