Product Description
This book consists of notes of several conversations had with, and letters written by Nicholas Herman, of Lorraine, a lowly and unlearned man, who, after having been a footman and soldier, was admitted a Lay Brother among the barefooted Carmelites at Paris in 1666, and was afterwards known as "Brother Lawrence."

His conversion, which took place when he was about eighteen years old, was the result, under God, of the mere sight in midwinter, of a dry and leafless tree, and of the reflections it stirred respecting the change the coming spring would bring. From that time he grew eminently in the knowledge and love of GOD, endeavoring constantly to walk "_as in His presence_." No wilderness wanderings seem to have intervened between the Red Sea and the Jordan of his experience. A wholly consecrated man, he lived his Christian life through as a pilgrim--as a steward and not as an owner, and died at the age of eighty, leaving a name which has been as "ointment poured forth."

The "Conversations" are supposed to have been written by M. Beaufort, Grand Vicar to M. de Chalons, formerly Cardinal de Noailles, by whose recommendation the letters were first published.

The book has, within a short time, gone through repeated English and American editions, and has been a means of blessing to many souls. It contains very much of that wisdom which only lips the Lord has touched can express, and which only hearts He has made teachable can receive.

May this edition also be blessed by GOD, and redound to the praise of the glory of His grace.

Practicing Presence
Today it is a challenge to establish, maintain and cultivate, a spiritual practice in an irreligious age, amid skeptical people, as it was in 1666, when Brother Lawrence, a lay Carmelite brother wrote this book.The reading and rereading of this book offers much to prayerful reflection and returns us with simplicity to the Satisfaction of God's Presence in our lives. Much like other spiritual disciplines that are rooted on the ground of daily experiences, Brother Lawrence's observations both inspire us to continue the quiet path of religious discipleship, in the midst of a irreverent world, while rooting us deeply in the transcendental ground of daily experiences. ...
