The practice of the presence of god ebook

His birth records were destroyed in a fire at his parish church during the Thirty Years War, a war in which he fought as a young soldier. It was also the war in which he sustained a near-fatal injury that left him quite crippled and in chronic pain for the rest of his life. Brother Lawrence was educated by a parish priest whose first name was Lawrence and who was greatly admired by the young Nicolas.

He was well-read and, from an early age, drawn to a spiritual life of faith and love for God. At mid-life he entered a newly established monastery in Paris where he became the cook for the community which grew to over one hundred members. After fifteen years, his duties were shifted to the sandal repair shop but, even then, he often returned to the busy kitchen to help out.

For some forty years, he lived and walked with God at his side. It was not until after his death that a few of his letters were collected. Joseph de Beaufort, representative, and counsel to the local archbishop, first published the letters in a small pamphlet.

In this small book, through letters and conversations, Brother Lawrence simply and beautifully explains how to continually walk with God, not from the head but from the heart. I am blessing God, praising Him, adoring Him, and loving Him with all my heart.

He was not only converted that day but also forever committed to serving God wholeheartedly. He died peacefully at the age of eighty, embraced in the arms of the Lord he had loved and served.
