 A must read May 8, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This little book is a must read for everyone trying to get closer to God. You don't have to commit a time for prayer, you can silently praise God throughout the day as you go about your work and in your quiet moments. The rewards far outweigh these simple efforts.
Great daily devotional. April 24, 2008
The lessons that God taught Brother Lawrence are, what I believe to be, the single most important aspect of our lives. Despite the very few references to scripture, it is obvious that our dear brother discovered the true hidded treasure of faith. The purity of his devotion was certainly 'other worldly', and I doubt that many 21st Century American Christians can relate to this kind of life, beyond a theoretical sence, anyway. Between this book and Tozer's The Knowledge of the Holy: The Attributes of God: Their Meaning in the Christian Life", I have found a wonderful 1-2 punch to pointing followers of Jesus in the right direction, and I read from both of these books almost daily in my devotional time. The more one hungers after God the more they will get out of this book, and if you want to hunger more after Him then this is a great place to start.
 Good book; bad edition April 11, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I highly recommend reading The Practice of the Presence of God. I just recommend getting a different copy. Here's why:
Though the back of the book advertises a "7-point advantage," these features seem to have been haphazardly thrown together and are of little use to the book's target audience.The color timeline does not offer information about events surrounding Brother Lawrence's life. Rather, it is a grand historical timeline on which Brother Lawrence's life appears as little more than a brief footnote. The endnotes are intrusive and unhelpful, and the index is practically worthless. Endnote references are treated superscript in some instances and in others run right in to the text. This is probably the worst-edited book I've seen. The back cover advertises that the book is "one of a fabulous collection." Judging by this member, I think I'll pass on the rest of the Pure Gold Classics.
Like I said, I strongly suggest reading the book, but I would spend a few more dollars and spring for a nicer copy as it is a book worth returning to.
 An important book for Christians. March 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great deal on a very important book. If you have room for three books on your nightstand, they should be; the Bible, Pilgram's Progress, and Practicing the Presence of God. This book is a little difficult to read at first, but worth the effort. It's also a short read, but you'll want to read it over several times. My copy is already full of highlights and notes! I highly recommend Practicing the Presence of God, to anyone who longs for a deeper and more intimate relationship with the Lord.
A simple loving acceptanceof God March 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A simple approach to accepting Gods love in a childlike manner,without question. Living with Jesus through never ending praise and prayer everyday on rising, during work, while serving others, during meals, while walking, and when retiring.
