5.0 out of 5 stars Practicing the Presence of God, April 27, 2008
By W. Howell (Whidbey Island, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Brother Lawrence writes beautifully and simply of the blessing
of learning to practice God's presence, to seek God in everything,
significant and trivial. His writing makes one think about becoming
more aware that God is near, even in the most menial of tasks.Talk to
Him. He is waiting. Thank Him for every mystery of life. This small
book can make a big difference in one's life.
