Critics Review
“The Practice of the Presence of God was a pivotal book in my spiritual growth. It showed me there was no division between work that is secular and work that is sacred. When done ‘unto God rather than men, ’ all work is sacred. And Brother Lawrence, with his sleeves rolled up and his hands elbow deep in the sink, shows us in everyday ways how to turn the kitchens in our lives into cathedrals.”

Brother Lawrence
Brother Lawrence (c. 1611-1691) was a French lay brother whose enduring legacy grew from his reflections on a humble life devoted to God. He entered the Carmelite Order in Paris, where he served as a cook and cultivated a deep awareness of God’s presence in the ordinary moments of daily life. After his death, his writings were gathered and published, becoming a classic of Christian spirituality and an inspiration to generations of believers.
