The Practice of the Presence OF GOD
By Brother Lawrence
Brother Lawrence was a man of humble beginnings who discovered the greatest secret of living in the kingdom of God here on earth. It is the art of “practicing the presence of God in one single act that does not end.” He often stated that it is God who paints Himself in the depths of our souls. We must merely open our hearts to receive Him and His loving presence.
As a humble cook, Brother Lawrence learned an important lesson through each daily chore: The time he spent in communion with the Lord should be the same, whether he was bustling around in the kitchen—with several people asking questions at the same time—or on his knees in prayer. He learned to cultivate the deep presence of God so thoroughly in his own heart that he was able to joyfully exclaim, “I am doing now what I will do for all eternity. I am blessing God, praising Him, adoring Him, and loving Him with all my heart.”
This unparalleled classic has given both blessing and instruction to those who can be content with nothing less than knowing God in all His majesty and feeling His loving presence throughout each simple day.

Dancing in the Storm
“What happened to the DREAM I had nurtured for a lifetime? A SIMPLE LIFE…neat, orderly, predictable and SAFE?”
When Linda McGinn Waterman’s life fell apart, a frightful truth became obvious: Change and the resulting chaos are everywhere, actually forming the very fabric of life. She tried to resist it, manage it, plan for it, and hide from it with no success. Now she tried something new: She embraced it.
Are there times when the uncertainties of life overwhelm you? In this intriguing book, Waterman shows that chaos actually does you a favor by smashing the false foundations on which you try to build your life. As you learn to accept rather than resist the chaos, God’s pattern for your life will emerge from the tempest, bringing you rest, calm, joy and adventure.
When you make the choice to dance in the storm, “Life will be good. And you will not regret the choice,” promises Waterman. “You will choose it time and time again as chaos confronts you. Everything is uncertain, except God, of course. And that’s the most assuring exception there is.”
