Synopsis

In this classic work, which has instructed and inspired millions, a humble 17th-century monk reveals the secrets of daily, moment-by-moment fellowship with God. “In the way of God, thoughts count very little,” writes Brother Lawrence (born Nicholas Herman, c.1610), who spent much of his monastic life in the kitchen. “Love does it all.” Full of realistic honesty, friendliness, and simplicity, Brother Lawrence shows that it is possible to meet God among the pots and pans – in the ordinary, daily events of life. This Modern English version will nourish and delight all those who seek to practice the presence of God.
