About this listen

Nicholas Herman (c. 1605-1691) was born in Lorraine, France and served as a cook and shoe repairer at a Carmelite monastery. He was only a lay member of the order, and walked with a limp from injuries incurred as a soldier, yet his private thoughts provide a wellspring of devotional insight and refreshment.Public Domain (P)2008 christianaudio.com Christianity Spirituality

Definite recommendation for anyone desiring to live in the Presence of God and to be set free from self condemnation

Excellent book well read

This is a super book and it’s well read. I was given the paper back version quite providentially and drank it in, it’s very powerful.

Divine Disability

Brother Lawrence found God through a broken and dysfunctional body. He was mentally free despite the nature of his physical suffering. Grace accompanied him on every step of his journey - even when rolling over objects because his leg did not work properly. Herein lies the essence of the lesson - we are free when we chose to be. Peace and love to all who read these words.

great narration and advice about chasing with God

I took issue with the last section, where there was advice about not using a physician and relying directly on God. this is dangerously heretical. God works through Doctor's.

Peace through contemplation in His presence

I slowed the speed of narration in order to use these letters as contemplative prayer.
Rich and deep and while I did not agree with some of His statements, I found Brother Lawrence inspiring a hunger in me to seek His presence.
