November16, 7:00 p.m. CST: The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence
Brother Lawrence lived in the 17th century and was a lay brother at a Carmelite priory in Paris, working in the kitchen there. He had a reputation for experiencing profound peace and visitors came to seek spiritual guidance from him. The wisdom he passed on to them, in conversations and letters, would become the basis of the book, The Practice of the Presence of God. (source: Wikipedia)
The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence is available in a number of print and e-book editions though Amazon.com and http://www.Christianbook.com. The basic editions include the conversations and letters (45 + pages) and the expanded editions also include his Spiritual Maxims and sometimes additional material (100+ pages).

Well, I will buy the book and read it, but I’m disappointed that I will probably not be able to join the discussion. I read your October book too, while I was in Asia, so at least I’m starting to participate in my own way!!
I’m buying two since they were so reasonable, so if anyone in STL wants one, just let me know. Should be here in a week or so…
