Summary: A Must Read for Christians
Review: A wonderfully thought provoking book. It should be required reading for every Christian. If you have ever read Charles Sheldon's book "In His Steps" and said, "Boy that was neat...what if we really did ask ourselves 'What Would Jesus Do' instead of just wearing a bracelet" well here is the story of two real people who strived to do just that. As Christians we are called to strive to be more and more like Christ (sanctification) and this book sets up a fine example of how that can be achieved. Unlike a how to book this book shows you that growing in the knowledge of God is a process that does not happen over night. I highly recomend this book. Just one word of caution...do not read this book with the idea that it could never happen today. It will only never happen if we don't make the attempt. May we all joing Brother Lawarenc and Frank in the Practice of HIS Presencs!

Summary: absolutely essential reading
Review: by practicing His presence, by trying to constantly connect/converse with God, laubach and brother lawrence discover what the christian life is all about- knowing God personally and resting in what we find. reading about their trek toward the heart of God led me to reexamine mine. after reading it, i was convinced that, like brother lawrence, i would be able to connect with God at least once a minute. unfortunately, i was amazingly far from my goal. yet, the more i practice, the closer i get. as i get closer, i know God better, and the happiness, peace, and effectiveness in my life and ministry that have resulted are amazing. in turn, i have learned that i don't know God nearly as well as i thought; and, if i simply spend more time with him in my thoughts, i will know him better and flourish because of it.

Summary: A Challenge to All Christians
Review: I am amazed at how such a simple book can issue such an amazing challenge. At first, I thought "Spending all of my time thinking about God? Is that possible? Is it even something I would want to do?" After reading this book, I am not only convinced that it is something we need to strive towards, but that it is also desireable as well! I first read this book during the most difficult period of my life. During that time I found myself, quite involuntarily, brooding and thinking about my problems to the point where I was severely depressed. However, I have found that by actually practicing his presence, things have changed. I know God better now...and I am excited about the prospect of all that I have yet to learn about him. This book is not complex. It has a simple premise: that of learning to think about Jesus as often as you can. It, however, doesn't come without a price...but it's worth it.

Summary: Every christian's walk with God should start here.
Review: I think any christian who can develop a walk with God like Brother Lawrence will see not only himself change in unimaginable ways but also those around him.

Summary: Short but Inspiring
Review: It's a short book- and it works to have both authors in one book... it inspired me to think a little bit like them- but I feel like I need more- to constantly inspire me to remember God. A daily meditation book on this subject would be great!

Summary: Being God's Friend
Review: Other than the Bible, this book has had the greatest influence upon my life! I began reading Brother Lawrence's book about twenty years ago and was thrilled to find this version ten years later which combines his experience with that of Frank Laubach's. This simple but profound message of being God's friend has taken years to sink into my heart but has become more precious with each passing year. If you are hungry to know God more intimately, this is the book for you!

Summary: To change your life...
Review: This book is AWESOME. It totally inspired me. Frank Laubach's part especially showed me that I needed to seriously give God more time. In reading about these two people's journey's closer to God, I was able to see that I needed to do the same thing. In calling God to mind as often as possible, your whole spirit changes. You become more willing and eager to live your ALL for Him, just as He wishes. This book can help you find more ways to bring God into your life, and give you examples of the great faith God gives to those who try and practice this; His presence.
