Nicholas Herman entered the priory in Paris as a lay brother, not having the education necessary to become a cleric, and took the religious name, Lawrence of the Resurrection. He spent almost all of the rest of his life within the walls of the priory, working in the kitchen. He was known for his profound peace and many came to seek spiritual guidance from him. The wisdom that he passed on to them, in conversations and in letters, would later become the basis for this book. It became popular among Catholics and Protestants alike, with John Wesley and A. W. Tozer being among those who were transformed by its vital message. This book will change the way you spend time with God. Brother Lawrence lived from a place in his heart where the love of God made every detail of his life of surpassing value. You can begin to live in this manifestation of God's Presence every moment of every day. With this book, you can begin now.
