Brother Lawrence c. 1610- Feb. 12, 1691
Brother Lawrence was born Nicholas Herman around 1610 in Herimenil, France.
Because his birth records were destroyed by a fire at his parish church the exact date and year of birth is unknown.
The Practice Of The Presence Of God
“The Practice Of The Presence Of God” is a small, but powerful book composed of some interviews and several letters that Brother Lawrence wrote to friends.
This little book provides a fascinating look into the life and experience of a man who dedicated his life completely to God. Brother Lawrence describes a communion with God that all men long for and few ever find.
His writings can help the reader understand the simple way anyone can approach God and experience the presence of God in a real and meaningful way – all day long, every day.

I highly recommend this little book.
Know that what is contained within its pages is just as applicable to our lives today as it was to the human experience in the 1600′s.
This is just another resource to help you experience God for yourself in your very own personal way.
Enjoy!
