The Practice of the Presence of God is a true classic that has been praised as one of the best books on contemplation ever written. Brother Lawrence was a simple monk living in a French monastery in the seventeenth century. He was assigned to work in the kitchen and developed a unique practice whereby his entire life was a single extended union with God. This volume also includes his spiritual maxims and a biography of him written by his friend Joseph de Beaufort. The text has been updated to modern English.Also included in this volume is a guide to Christian Meditation by Tim Langdell. Tim is an ordained Christian Priest as wellas a Master Zen Teacher. This guide not only includes details on how to practice a number of different methods of Christian meditation, but also observations on the parallels between Brother Lawrence's writings and Zen meditation.
