The Practice of Presence of God (Hendrickson Christian Classics) - Hardcover

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

The Practice of the Presence of God was a pivotal book in my spiritual growth. It showed me there was no division between work that is secular and work that is sacred. When done unto God rather than men, all work is sacred. And Brother Lawrence, with his sleeves rolled up and his hands elbow deep in the sink, shows us in everyday ways how to turn the kitchens in our lives into cathedrals.
