Product Description
Brother Lawrence is worth two hours of your time.
This unusual French monk who worked in the kitchen shows all of us how to recapture the intimate friendship with Christ that was shared by the first disciples. He achieved a concentration on God that was rooted in the everyday practicalities of life.
Tony Jones brings his rapport with early Christianity to this new edition of a great work. His thoughtful and challenging comments bring the words of Brother Lawrence into historical context and offer spiritual encouragement. Take the next two hours and read this book. You'll never look at your life the same way again.

Reader ReviewsThis is a tremendous thought provoking work by (and about) a monk in the 1600s who achieved a state of being in which he continually felt totally in the presence of God. I would recommend it for any true Christian who wishes to better grasp and understand the omnipresence of God.
