The simple wisdom of Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection has withstood the test of time by permeating the minds and hearts of men and women of all ages. As Henri Nouwen remarks in the Foreword, “Brother Lawrence’s life shows clearly his great openness for his fellow human beings. He reminds us in a forceful way that we cannot find God in people but that it is God in us who finds God in people.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn pondering Lawrence’s life of prayer, his companionship with God amid daily tasks, and his spiritual advice, the reader advances in the realization that God is the center and substance of every moment of our lives. It is that realization which produces endless joy and fulfillment. This edition is one of the most modern English translations available, making Brother Lawrence’s message truly accessible to all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tm-info-text-style\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tm-info-text-style\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn J.
