The Practice of the Presence of God

[1: Gal. i, 10; Eph. vi, 5, 6.] [2: The particulars which follow are collected from other accounts of Brother Lawrence.] [3: I suppose he means that all distinct notions he could form of GOD, were unsatisfactory, because he perceived them to be unworthy of GOD; and therefore his mind was not to be satisfied but by the views of faith, which apprehend GOD as infinite and incomprehensible, as He is in Himself, and not as He can be conceived by human ideas.] [4: He took to his bed two days after, and died within the week.] LicenseThis ebook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
