Synopsis

What if you could learn to experience God's presence in the middle of ordinary life?

Nearly four hundred years ago, a humble Carmelite monk named Brother Lawrence discovered a remarkably simple way to draw closer to God—not by escaping everyday life, but by learning to recognize God's presence in it.

His timeless wisdom has helped generations of Christians discover a deeper, more personal relationship with God. Now you can walk through that wisdom one day at a time.

The Practice of the Presence of God: A 40-Day Devotion combines the complete classic work of Brother Lawrence with a practical 40-day devotional journey designed to help you move from simply reading about God's presence to practicing it in your own life.

Each day includes:

• A passage from Brother Lawrence's writings
• Scripture to read and reflect upon
• A devotional thought connecting his wisdom to everyday life
• Practical encouragement for becoming more aware of God's presence

Brother Lawrence's message is remarkably simple: you don't have to escape your everyday life to draw closer to God. You can practice His presence while working, driving, doing chores, facing difficulties, or simply going about the ordinary routines of your day.

Whether you are discovering Brother Lawrence for the first time or returning to this classic after many years, this 40-day journey provides a simple way to slow down, refocus your heart, and cultivate a more conversational relationship with God.

The complete text of The Practice of the Presence of God is included.

Use it as a personal devotional, read it with a friend, or work through it with a small group. A free group discussion guide is also available for those who want to explore the book together.

Start today. Take the first step toward practicing the presence of God—not just for 40 days, but as a way of life.
