Description

This brief book is a lovely, compassionate, and moving series of notes and letters from the 17th century French mystic Brother Lawrence. A cook in a Carmelite monastery, Lawrence's lowly position led him to a spirituality of "common business," rooted in maintaining the presence of God in mind and heart in all tasks, no matter how mundane. With great clarity and directness he provides an example of disciplined, patient faithfulness. - from Amzon
