A Christian classic on cultivating intimacy with God through life's everyday tasks.

This

enduring classic of devotion consists of the letters and recorded

conversations of a simple seventeenth-century French monk who, through

the most ordinary of everyday activities, was able to achieve a profound

intimacy with God. ""At any moment and in any circumstance,"" Brother

Lawrence taught, ""the soul that seeks God may find Him, and practice the

presence of God."" His joyful and practical teachings have resonated

with Christians for more than three hundred years.

This volume

also includes Brother Lawrence's ""Spiritual Maxims,"" a summary of his

teachings in the form of short aphorisms and sayings.

BROTHER LAWRENCE of the Resurrection (1611-1691), born Nicholas Herman, was a Carmelite monk who served at the Monastery of the Discalced (Barefoot) Carmelites in Paris. A lay brother (that is, one who lacked the education required to become a cleric), he spent most of his life cooking meals, running errands, and scrubbing pots for his fellow monks--with an attitude of joy and grace.
