A seventeenth-century French Carmelite, Brother Lawrence spent a significant portion of his time in the kitchen of a monastery in Paris. He expressed his experience by stating, \"The time of business does not differ from the time of prayer, and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees at the blessed sacrament.\" This book comprises a collection of messages that Brother Lawrence shared with those around him, including The Practice of the Presence of God and The Spiritual Maxims. Both of these works offer valuable insights to modern readers on leading a spiritual life amidst the hustle and bustle of the world. Additionally, the book features a foreword by Matthew Fox, the author of Sheer Joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 106g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 126 x 177 x 8 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780486844985\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brother Lawrence","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44943736078586,"sku":"9780486844985","price":4.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1703870935627_book.jpg?v=1703923317","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-practice-of-the-presence-of-god-and-the-spiritual-maxims-9780486844985","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
