That’s the way it is with me, too, Dianna. The more I learn, the less I know. ha. And that’s fine with me. God just gets bigger and bigger!

I’d say it is a sign, Barbara. You better get reading. 🙂 It is definitely a short book but it still might take a little longer than you’d expect because it’s dense in parts. But a worthy read.

It is like the more we read the Bible the more we understand just how little we know…or at least that is the way it is with me. It is the same when it comes to knowing Him…the more I know Him the more I desire to know Him. A treasure to be sure! Thank you, Lisa!

I was noticing this morning what a small book it was and asking myself WHY I hadn’t ever read it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention again.

Good! 🙂 If you choose this one, you might look first for a free online version (if you don’t mind reading that way). It shouldn’t be expensive even in paperback, but because it’s so old (he wrote these letters in the 1600s), free versions abound in PDFs or for eBooks. And just to warn you–the language will be a little archaic but not too bad with updated versions.

Amen, Linda. I’ve re-read this little book over and over through the years (it’s a good thing it’s short!).

Everybody has a first time to hear about Brother Lawrence. I’m honored to be the one to introduce you to him. : ) You’ll probably be amazed now at how often you’ll hear his name/book mentioned.

I agree. I love how timeless this message is–seeking awareness of and a delight in God’s presence is always excellent advice.
