You don’t need to escape your life to find God — you need to find God in your life.

Most of us think spiritual growth happens in quiet moments: prayer, church, retreats. But what about the rest of our week?

In the 1600s, a French monk named Brother Lawrence discovered a simple, life-changing practice: living with a continual awareness of God’s presence — not just in prayer, but in the ordinary tasks of everyday life. His wisdom has guided seekers for more than three centuries.

Practicing God’s Presence brings this ancient insight into the rhythms of modern life. Through personal stories, biblical reflection, and practical guidance, Aneel Aranha shows how ordinary Christians can grow closer to God without adding more spiritual activities to an already busy schedule.

This is not a book about becoming more religious. It’s about becoming more aware of the God who is already with you — in work and rest, joy and struggle, the mundane and the magnificent.

Your life doesn’t need to change for you to experience God.
You just need to wake up to the life you already have.

Includes selected writings from The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence.
