Practice of the Presence of God

Brother LawrenceOne of the things that I like to do is to download audiobooks and lectures and listen to them on my iPod.  While I am naturally drawn to academic lectures, I also know that I need devotional material as well.  I have found that www.christianaudio.com is a great resource for this.  One of the great things about this web-site is that they have one free audiobook per month.

The free book for July 2008 is Brother Lawrence’s The Practice of the Presence of God.  Brother Lawrence was a seventeenth century monk who sought to experience God, not just in the traditional spiritual practices but in the everyday events of life.  I am looking forward to listening to this book.  If I am to lead effectively, I need to be intentional in growing closer to God.  Listening to books by proven spiritual masters such as Brother Lawrence is one of the ways I have chosen to do that.  You can find this free audiobook here and make sure to check there each month for a new offering.
