Why Get This Book

If you've ever felt God only shows up at church on Sunday, this little classic says otherwise. Brother Lawrence was a humble monk, and these pages share his life and teaching about staying close to God in every moment, even while doing the dishes. It's short, gentle and timeless, and it's for anyone who wants an ongoing conversation with God instead of a once-a-week visit. Honest note: it's old and simple, without much structure, so readers who want a step-by-step plan may wish for more. Next step: read 1 Thessalonians 5:17, then talk to God through one ordinary chore today.
