GORDY'S REVIEW

This book clearly reinforces the legacy of Biblical Truth through the interpretation of Brother Lawrence from many years ago.

Great New Devotional!

I'll be honest with you... there is a serious need in the Christian market for books like this. Reading this book opened up the words of Brother Lawrence like no other book I've ever read before! The updated language in this book (that's perfect for use as a devotional) made the timeless teachings of Brother Lawrence accessible to a whole new generation of readers. I know there may be those who say otherwise, but recent translations of the Bible like the Message and books like Mr. Elmer's latest are wonderful resources that today's Christians cannot overlook.

Deep enough to change your thinking.

This book attracted my attention immediately. I've heard of Brother Lawrence for twenty years, but each time I read a piece by him, I bogged down in the archaic language. Elmer takes the meat of Brother Lawrence's philosophy/religious tenets and puts them in words I can relate to. I intend to read this small volume several times. The first time was rewarding, but the material is so rich, it requires at least a second read to absorb the finer points.

Focusing on Him

This is a book to be read and reread, along with Scripture, to draw us focus on Christ and help us become totally sold-out for Him. Read entire review at AUTHOR'S CHOICE REVIEWS http://come.to/bookreviews
