Overview

The Practice of the Presence of God preserves the conversations and letters of Brother Lawrence, a seventeenth-century Carmelite lay brother whose reflections on spiritual life emphasise simplicity, humility, and constancy of attention. Rather than presenting a formal theological system, the work records a practical approach to devotion grounded in the ordinary routines of work and service. Lawrence describes a discipline of inward recollection in which the individual seeks to maintain an awareness of the divine presence at all times.

Compiled after Lawrence's death from accounts recorded by those who spoke with him, the text has remained widely read across Christian traditions for its clarity and directness. Its emphasis on quiet attentiveness and inward steadiness places it within a broader tradition of devotional literature concerned with the cultivation of the interior life. The work continues to be valued for its simplicity of expression and its enduring spiritual insight.
