Walking with the Father: Wisdom from Brother Lawrence FROM THE PUBLISHER
Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection spent most of his life as a monk in a Carmelite monastery in Paris, and for much of that time, he worked in the kitchen. In this very ordinary setting, he discovered the presence of God as powerfully as if he had been on a spiritual retreat. Christians for three centuries have treasured Brother Lawrence's simple, yet profound, advice on how to carry on a continual conversation with the Lord. Walking With the Father, Wisdom from Brother Lawrence, arranges these insights by topic, making them even more accessible to today's readers.
