Read this book when I received it. It was very helpful and gave specific advice and postures of mind to practice hearing God and learning to look for Him everywhere.

The slim volume that includes personal letters, a biographical account, and maxims of the simple, humble Brother Lawrence, whose life of love impacted everyone around him. His life with God is a challenge to all of us, to live simply in love.

One of the classics of Christian literature and a book that should be required reading for every new Christian. Brother Lawrence didn't write this book, he just lived a life so full of devotion that his friends compiled the book from letters he had written to friends that explained the secret of his remarkable life. The secret is in the title, to live as if everything we do is in the immediate presence of God, for indeed it is. Simple as this may sound, few Christians master this concept as well as Brother Lawrence and his profound example is inspirational.
