Delaney. This compact e-book offers accessible, timeless wisdom on cultivating continual awareness of God’s presence, inspiring readers across faiths to embrace joy and mindfulness in everyday life. ## Description Here is a guide for all Christians aspiring to union with God, which, according to Brother Lawrence, is the ultimate goal of every soul. The new Image edition of The Practice of the Presence of God is a reissue of the 1977 translation that was the first to appear in decades. It features an in-depth Introduction by John J. Delaney that examines what is known about Lawrence's life, how the book came to be, and its ongoing relevance throughout the ages. In the words of this humble seventeenth-century lay Carmelite, "we must trust God once and for all and abandon ourselves to Him alone." This difficult task necessarily requires perseverance and continual conversation with God in all activities great and small: "speaking humbly and talking lovingly with Him at all times, at every moment, without rule or system..." In reading these conversations, letters, and spiritual maxims, we learn the key to endless joy. In short, this little spiritual classic -- in its fresh, contemporary English translation -- renders the simple wisdom of Brother Lawrence accessible to every Christian who yearns for the fullness of life. Review: A true great read - This simple and incredibly powerful book expands the perspective of truly following God. It is such a simple and applicable read and very inspiring. It shows that God’s design and love for our lives is much more than we can begin to understand, however he wants to be with us and lead us every second. Review: the tiny book that can inspire for a very long time - you don't have to be a christian or religious to get inspiration from Brother Lawrence's experience. A simple Brother that placed his devotion on what was most important to him. And never faltered for long. Life lessons can be taken from this book without having to swear allegiance to anything or anyone. That is up to the reader. Brother Lawrence picked God as he understood God. The reading doesn't recruit. That's left up to the reader. ## Features - The Practice of the Presence of God ## Images ![The Practice of the Presence of God - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bLp2b0KoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true great read *by K***N on June 17, 2024* This simple and incredibly powerful book expands the perspective of truly following God.

Brother Lawrence shares wisdom gained from experience -- practical steps to a closer walk with God. He shares his struggles... : difficulties with prayer : feeling unworthy of Christ's love and acceptance : regret for years of lost opportunity And what he learned... : learning to invite God into everyday activities : cultivating peace and assurance regardless of circumstances : experiencing God's presence in every moment of life : learning to everything for love of God : viewing his own mistakes through God's grace and mercy : trusting God's perfect goodness to sustain him This is NOT a high theological treatise written for theological students. Brother Lawrence shares his "from the trenches" view of life in service to Christ. He sought God's will in *everything* he did, from cooking dinner to mending a shoe. Every activity became an opportunity to show love for God. He tried to do nothing apart from God's will, even to picking up a blade of grass. Even though he admits to failing over and over, he simply repented and returned to God as soon a possible. Brother Lawrence sought wisdom through a direct relationship with God, rather than an academic dissection of faith. Very encouraging for a layman. I greatly enjoyed it. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Practice of the Presence of God - The Practice of Prayer (The New Church's Teaching Series, Vol 4) (Volume 4) - A Testament of Devotion --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/11868392-the-practice-of-the-presence-of-god](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/11868392-the-practice-of-the-presence-of-god) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-23*
