Brother Lawrence: The Practice of the Presence of God the Best Rule of a Holy Life: Being Conversations and Letter of Nicholas Herman of

Brother Lawrence was born Nicolas Herman in H rim nil, near Lun ville in the region of Lorraine, located in modern day eastern France. Having felt he had received a revelation of the providence and power of God at the age of 18, within six years he joined the Discalced Carmelite Priory in Paris. In this intervening period he fought in the Thirty Years' War and later served as a valet. Nicolas entered the priory in Paris as a lay brother, not having the education necessary to become a cleric, and took the religious name, "Lawrence of the Resurrection". He spent almost all of the rest of his life within the walls of the priory, working in the kitchen for most of his life and as a repairer of sandals in his later years. Despite his lowly position in life and the priory, his character attracted many to him. He had a reputation for experiencing profound peace and visitors came to seek spiritual guidance from him. The wisdom he passed on to them, in conversations and in letters, would later become the basis for the book, The Practice of the Presence of God. Father Joseph de Beaufort, later vicar general to the Archbishop of Paris, compiled this work after Brother Lawrence died. It became popular among Catholics and Protestants alike, with John Wesley and A. W. Tozer recommending it to others. As a young man, Herman's poverty forced him into joining the army, which guaranteed him meals and a small stipend. During this period, Herman claimed an experience that set him on a unique spiritual journey. He considered it a supernatural clarity into a common sight, more so than as a supernatural vision. During the winter, Herman looked at a barren tree, stripped of leaves and fruit, and realized it awaited the sure hope of a springtime revival and summer abundance. Gazing at the tree, Herman grasped deeply the extravagance of God's grace and the unfailing sovereignty of divine providence. Like the tree, he felt seemingly dead, but held hope that God had life waiting for him, and the turn of seasons would bring fullness. At that moment, he said, that leafless tree "first flashed in upon my soul the fact of God," and a love for God that never ceased. Shortly after, an injury forced his retirement from the army, and after a stint as a footman, he sought a place where he could suffer for his failures. He thus entered the Discalced Carmelite monastery in Paris as Brother Lawrence. This is an out-of-print manuscript. All pages are intact and it has been carefully reviewed.

When Brother Petroc is unexpectedly awoken from his 16th century tomb, he must face a 20th century world. While his Cornwall monastery remains intact-in the charge of a community of English Benedictines-there is much about the life there that is more than a little strange to him. The prayers, the duties, even the habits seem the same, but surrounded by newfangled technologies and modern sensibilities, he must grapple with the immense changes that four hundred years have wrought. With its intricate eye for detail Brother Petroc's Return is a charming and subtle exploration of the ways that faith is molded over time by the people who tend and keep it, even as those people are in turn molded by the selfsame faith. With clear-eyed medieval simplicity, Brother Petroc is an excellent mirror in which to view our modern faith, with its defects and excesses alongside its wonderfully rich developments and the ultimately timeless realities of Faith, Hope and Charity.
