I’m a very spiritual person and I was expecting this CD to provide daily inspiration and help me to remember the very few things that are vital in life. Sorry to say, for me at least, the CD is rather dull and not very inspirational. I’m about 30 minutes in to it and have chose to stop listening to it. Fortunately I have a Christian radio station that does a lot more for me.

I was not very impressed with what Brother Lawrence says in this book. It is wonderful to share one’s insight about their relationship with God, but he mentions nowhere in the book that I saw, any of his stuggles. I got the impression that he was perfect, which I know is not the case. Not your best read, in my opinion, if you’re looking for humility.

This book is a excellent example of why traditional “ancient time” religion is falling on hard times. It just doesn’t work. For example in the book bro L says, if you want to attain the presence of God, you should, see a “purity” of life. Yeah right, how many people can really do that. Look at most of the clergy, and you will see that this just doesn’t work and doesn’t take place. And then we are to control our senses. Yeah again. This kind of legalistic thinking- “things” we must do for God is really opposite the teachings of Jesus who told us to walk in GRACE. Yet books like this and people today like Dr. Dobson and additional keep telling us to try to be holy, dont’ drink, have sex, etc etc. And as Dr. Phil would say Brother L, “hows that effective out for you. IT ISN”T.
You can practice all you want to attain “Consecration” but it ain’t gonna take place no way, nowhere. You can’t attain this by practice. You must accept it thru GRACE. So if you want to feel terrible when you don’t measure up to the sanctity of Brother L, then by all means read this book. But if you want to find the peace of God, read ACIM (A course in Miracles) and accept the REAL Jesus that simply wants us to relax in his presence, not to try to attain it by our deeds.

I’m finding it very hard to keep up with reading this book. I thought reading the day to day life instances of a holy man would be small more engaging.
See additional reviews to see if this book is for you. Maybe it just isn’t for me.
