The Practice of the Presence of God:

Brother Lawrence decided that he needed to concentrate on a simple idea: loving
God in whatever he did. This book is a record of the conversations and letters
exchanged between Brother Lawrence and people in his community, who came to him
for advice once they noticed his passionate living for God.

Published originally at the end of the seventeenth century, this book has endured for
three centuries and is more widely read today than ever. This book was written for all
seekers aspiring to union with God which, according to Brother Lawrence, is the ultimate
goal of every soul. Ingram

As A Man Thinketh:

James Allen writes that his aim is to stimulate men and women to the discovery that they
themselves actually create the sort of persons they are by virtue of the thoughts that they
choose and encourage. He gives examples to illustrate how mind is the master weaver, both
of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, so that people may
begin to weave in enlightenment and happiness.

James Allen (1864-1912), was born in Leicester, England, and moved with his family to America at age fifteen. He wrote nineteen spiritual and inspirational books including From Passion to Peace and The Eight Pillars of Wisdom. As Man Thinketh is his best-known work
