"The writings of Brother Lawrence are the ultimate in simplicity; ideas woven like costly threads to make a pattern of great beauty." - A.W. Tozer, author of The Pursuit of God

In today's culture of hustle and hurry, we often push prayer to the margins of our busy to-do lists, leaving us dry and burnt out. This unparalleled spiritual classic offers the solution to our problem–but not in the way we might expect.

Written by an uneducated cook after many years in the kitchen, this book advises us not to change our daily duties to make them more "holy." Instead, it encourages us to experience God in the midst of our mundane days, giving simple, practical insight into the joy of holding a constant, never-ending conversation with our Maker.

Since its publication more than three hundred years ago, the message of this modest book has inspired millions of people seeking to realize a continual awareness of God. Among its legion of devotees is A.W. Tozer, who said, “(Lawrence) wrote very little, but what he wrote has seemed to several generations of Christians to be so rare and so beautiful as to deserve a place near the top among the world’s great books of devotion.”

In today’s age of constant distraction and activity, we believe Lawrence’s message is more revolutionary and needed than ever and is primed to impact millions more in the coming generations.

Excellent production: both the text and its narration

I already loved this translation of this wonderful book, but now the heartfelt narration, (from the translator) really does 'poetic justice' to the deep truths within this delightful masterpiece.

Just beautiful, and also an invaluable companion for one's inward life.
