Meet the author

Brother Lawrence was a 17th-century Carmelite lay brother whose simple yet profound method of continual conversation with God has guided Christians for over 300 years. A humble cook and sandal-maker, he discovered that the secret to spiritual peace was not in grand acts but in doing every small task for the love of God. Originally a soldier named Nicolas Herman, his spiritual transformation following a battlefield injury led him to a monastic life where he perfected his "little way" of practicing God's presence in every moment.
