THE PRACTICE OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD

This brief book is lovely, compassionate, and moving. A series of notes and letters from Brother Lawrence on the how to keep the presence of God in mind and heart, the work’s clarity and directness allow it to succeed where more ornate tracts might fail. Scott Brick's delivery matches the text well. Brick speaks clearly and steadily, allowing Lawrence's heartfelt words to come through him. He sounds genuinely concerned about the people Lawrence prays for. The organizational structure of the book fits the audio format well, with several short sections that can be listened to independently.
