Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence - Well-Read Mom edition

(Well-Read Mom is currently awaiting our next shipment. Your order will ship out as soon as the books arrive.) This classic text by Br. Lawrence of the Resurrection, a seventeenth-century French hermit, spiritual director, and a member of the Order of Discalced Carmelites, is an enduring book of spiritual wisdom for all Christians who seek to find God in their daily life. With an introduction by Servant of God Dorothy Day, this special Well-Read Mom edition of The Practice of the Presence of God includes Br. Lawrence’s profound letters, conversations, and meditations to help you find peace, connection, and healing through the simple prayer of your life. Br. Lawrence was well-known for his profound peace, which modern readers of his work will recognize as mindfulness or contemplativeness. Day noted that his wisdom “tells of a spirituality which is within the reach of all” through prayer. “We need this book today when we are overwhelmed by the vastness of today’s problems. We need to return to the simplicity of a Brother Lawrence, whose ‘little way’ makes our burdens light and rejoices the heart.” His words remind all of us who live in times of loneliness, pain, and war that the search for God in each day of our lives is a timeless and timely quest. This book is a partnership between Well-Read Mom and Ave Maria Press to support Well-Read Mom’s mission to allow women to grow in goodness, truth, and beauty through literature, elevate the cultural conversation, and reawaken a love for storytelling through good writing and the printed word.
