The Practice of the Presence of God

The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence is a tiny little green book tucked away in our shelves which I happened upon on a whim. Though this collection of instructive letters and essays may be small, it is jam-packed with wisdom - particularly on how to live a life full of God's presence. Plus, the small size makes it a great travel book since it easily fits in a pocket or purse. Look for it in the Christian Living section or on display.

From Goodreads.com:

Brother Lawrence was a man of humble beginnings who discovered the greatest secret of living in the kingdom of God here on earth. It is the art of "practicing the presence of God in one single act that does not end." He often stated that it is God who paints Himself in the depths of our soul. We must merely open our hearts to receive Him and His loving presence. For nearly 300 years this unparalleled classic has given both blessing and instruction to those who can be content with nothing less than knowing God in all His majesty and feeling His loving presence throughout each simple day.
