The Practice of the Presence of God and The Spiritual Maxims

The Practice of the Presence of God and The Spiritual Maxims

â€œThe Practice of the Presence of Godâ€ is a compilation of letters and records of conversations with 17th-century Carmelite monk Brother Lawrence compiled by his contemporary, Father Joseph de Beaufort. An influential work of Christian spirituality â€œThe Practiceâ€ describes Brother Lawrenceâ€™s philosophy that a relationship with God is more important than the service and work done in Godâ€™s name. Brother Lawrence focuses on seeing the love of God, his presence, in all aspects of daily life. In this short work an attempt is made to explain Lawrenceâ€™s method of acquiring this presence of God. According to Brother Lawrence it is only in acquiring this presence that one truly can have a relationship with God. Also included in this work is â€œThe Spiritual Maximsâ€, a collection of thoughts intended to give daily inspiration and guidance towards living a more spiritual life. Together these classic works of Christian devotion give great insight into the life and spiritual philosophy of Brother Lawrence. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
