Books Like The Practice of the Presence of God

Read more

Scott Brick brings an unusual quality to this hour-long devotional — a stillness and gravity that keeps the sparse, meditative prose from feeling thin, giving each short reflection room to settle before the next arrives. Four of these recommendations share his voice, and the most highly rated lean into the same contemplative register, where the 's restraint is the point rather than an obstacle.
