Synopsis

A former soldier, French mystic Nicholas Herman, aka BROTHER LAWRENCE (1611?-1691), was converted to a powerful love of God at age 18 by a humble observation of nature, and his thoughts, collected in these two uncomplicated works of devotion, remain among the most pure and most powerful adorations of the divine. A lay Carmelite brother, Lawrence spent most of his time in the monastery's kitchens, and his simple, earthy observations on the direct paths to communication with God continue to inspire those seeking a stronger, more potent spirituality today.

Review:

This new edition is helpful to the average reader because it situates Lawrence...within the historical context of his times. But its greatest benefit for such readers is that it provides them with a fresh, readable translation of a classic of Christian literature. --Wendy M. Wright, Weavings

This faithfully translated new edition is the most complete and comprehensive text on Brother Lawrence available. --Gerald E. May, M.D., from the Foreword

...'[This book] has opened up the personal interconnections within the movement as never before.' --unknown
