"The time of business does not with me differ from the time of prayer."

In a world obsessed with productivity and complex rituals, Brother Lawrence offers a liberating alternative. The Practice of the Presence of God reveals how a former soldier and footman-who described himself as a "clumsy blockhead"-transformed the menial labor of a monastery kitchen into a profound spiritual sanctuary. His "method" requires no special posture, no silent retreat, and no advanced degree; it simply requires an ongoing, conversational intimacy with the divine during every waking moment. Whether you are washing dishes, answering emails, or navigating a busy commute, Lawrence's wisdom shows that the "sacred" is not a place you go, but a perspective you carry.


Brother Lawrence famously claimed that he possessed God as peacefully in the "clatter of his kitchen" as if he were on his knees before the Blessed Sacrament. He teaches that by performing every small act out of love, we eliminate the divide between our "spiritual lives" and our "real lives."

Long before the modern mindfulness movement, Lawrence perfected the art of staying in the present. His focus on "pure love" and the "habitual silent conversation" serves as a powerful antidote to modern anxiety and the feeling of being constantly overwhelmed by "needless thoughts."

This book has remained in print for over 300 years because it is arguably the most accessible spiritual guide ever written. It is a favorite of world leaders, quiet seekers, and people of all faiths who desire a life of interior depth without withdrawing from the world. It is the ultimate proof that the smallest life can be the most significant.
