Update:
City & A Hill is paused for now. While I loved working on this project, talking to people, listening and thinking about what they said, various life changes caused this to be set aside for now. I hope to continue this either as a podcast or in another form. For now, you can find me on YouTube or take a course with A Sweet Savor Bible School.
Summary:
In today’s episode, explore the life of Brother Lawrence, a quiet monk who's 'Practice of the Presence of God' made a huge impact. We’ll join a Zoom class for a youth summer camp, talk about this special individual and learn how to apply his lessons to our daily walk with God. All the quotes and Bible verses used in the class are below.
More about Brother Lawrence:
Nicolas Herman (1614-1691) took the name Lawrence of the Resurrection when he became a monk at the age of 30. He was the monastary's cook for 30 years and the sandal maker once the kitchen became too demanding. Though a simple man he became known throughout France for his habit of ‘practicing the presence of God’ and his uncommon peace in all situations. His advice was even sought after by religious greats such as Father Fenelon.
Brother Lawrence’s book can be found wherever books are sold under the title, The Practice of the Presence of God.
