A reinterpretation of the great devotional classic CLOSER THAN A BROTHER. Here was a man who walked with God. Brothers Lawrence like few men since Bible times, found the secret of a happy, holy, and intimate relationship with God. His writings give no glib answers, no trivial devotional rules. Reflecting his whole-hearted commitment, his letters offer us shining examples of honesty and integrity that can revolutionize our lives and draw us into fellowship with God. David Winter has reinterpretated Brother Lawrence's medieval French in today's idiom. The setting is changed from a Carmelite monastery kitchen
in Paris to a hospital kitchen in modern Boston. His conversations with coworkers and letters to believable people with real problems have startling relevance for those who search for a faith real enough to flourish in the unpromising soil of our century. Other faith-building books by David Winter: Faith Under Fire - 100 devotional readings paraphrased from the early church fathers will help you grow a faith as strong as theirs. How to Walk with God - Points out the important guideposts in a walk with God, especially helpful for renewed believers.
