Practicing God's Presence: Brother Lawrence for Today's Reader Paperback - 2005
by Robert Elmer
In a clear, readable style, Elmer unlocks treasured spiritual insights by paraphrasing a 17th-century monk's ideas on how to follow and live like Christ.
First line
FATHER DE BEAUFORT met with Brother Lawrence several times while the crippled brother was in his fifties.
From the rear cover
A modern update of a beloved classic. The sayings of Brother Lawrence have inspired thousands to live a life sold-out for Christ. Originally published as a brief booklet shortly after Lawrence's death in 1691, his classic work The Practice of the Presence of God has crossed nearly every denominational and cultural line. Yet despite its classic status, Brother Lawrence's seventeenth-century description of the Christian life is admittedly difficult for today's reader to follow. Sadly, this prevents all but the most dedicated readers from uncovering the spiritual treasures hidden under centuries of changing language. In this modern edition, Robert Elmer updates the ancient language, not the timeless message. Elmer's twenty-five years of experience as a writer and editor helps him unlock what was originally a straightforward account of how to love God straight from the heart, using accessible language that every reader can understand.
