Brother Lawrence’s famous work, The Practice of the Presence of God, is broken into bite-size pieces and paired with the writings of some of the greatest Zen teachers, from the Buddha to the Dalai Lama. The result sheds new light on this great Christian classic, offering profoundly practical insights for the spiritual life.
“You could read this book in an hour, but take the rest of your life to absorb its wisdom. It will help you ‘become a master of your own bliss, a chemist of your own joy.’ In a time when religious misunderstanding abounds, this book is a bridge between traditions. I wish every Christian would read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest the teaching of Brother Lawrence, Christian Zen Master, here illuminated by the richness of Buddhist texts.”
--the Rev. Mark Giroux, Rector, St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Chenango Bridge, New York; Member of the Children of Abraham (a continuing interfaith conversation of Jews, Christians, and Muslims); Member of the Broome County Interfaith Clergy Collective
