The Practice of the Presence of God: A 40-Day Devotion Based on Brother Lawrence's The Practice of the Presence of God (Includes Entire Book) Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 974 ratings

Practice turning ordinary life experiences into a conversation with God!

With all the distractions and busyness of everyday life, trying to remain connected to God can be a real challenge. Fortunately, a Carmelite monk named Brother Lawrence understood this problem and laid out a spiritual approach to living in God’s presence that is as practical today as it was almost four hundred years ago.

Since it was first published in 1691, The Practice of the Presence of God contains a collection of notes, letters, and interviews given by Brother Lawrence to his friends as a way of helping them turn ordinary daily life events into conversations with God.

Based on this timeless classic, The Practice of the Presence of God: A 40-Day Devotion guides readers on a 40-day journey through the wisdom of Brother Lawrence, related Scripture passages, and devotional thoughts that bring you into a more conversational relationship with God.

The Practice of the Presence of God: A 40-Day Devotion includes:

  • Daily devotional readings with book excerpt, Scripture references, and devotional thoughts
  • The complete conversations and letters from Brother Lawrence
  • Additional resources including a small-group discussion guide, Spiritual Maxims, and The Life of Brother Lawrence available for free online
  • Perfect for book clubs, small groups, or individual Bible study
  • Available in print or e-book formats

Devote some time to examining the content of this small but powerful book that has inspired millions of Christians over centuries to develop a deeper awareness of the presence of God.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Alan Vermilye, an Amazon Best-Selling author, has written numerous books, including modern-day revisions of The Pilgrim's Progress Series, the C.S. Lewis Study Series, and The Carols of Christmas Devotional Series.

Alan's extensive career in the Christian publishing industry spans nearly 25 years, during which he has collaborated with hundreds of top-selling authors and Christian musicians, providing his expertise in book and Bible study project creation, publishing, and marketing.

When asked to teach a Sunday School class almost 30 years ago, he started writing his own study guides because he couldn't find many that suited his teaching style. He found his passion in immersing himself in God's Word and creating teaching aids and discussion questions to help others embrace the same love for studying and following the teachings of Scripture.

Over a decade ago, he assisted his close friend, Dr. Steve Urban, in publishing a study on the C.S. Lewis classic, Mere Christianity. That project's success made him aware of the significant demand for study materials for Lewis's works. This led Alan to create a study guide for The Screwtape Letters, and subsequently for other books by Lewis, which have become the most popular study guides on his works.

After being challenged by his wife to write a study guide for The Pilgrim's Progress, he discovered that there were no readable translations that he truly comprehended. Therefore, he dedicated the following year and a half to revising the original translation into contemporary English. It has now become the top-selling book on The Pilgrim's Progress on Amazon.

Alan has also written a series of devotionals, including The Carols of Christmas (Vol. 1 and 2), The Proverbs Devotional Challenge, and a devotional on The Practice of the Presence of God. In addition, he’s written study guides for the Charles Dicken’s classic, A Christmas Carol, and his favorite movie, It's a Wonderful Life.
