Sinopsis

"The time of business does not with me differ from the time of prayer."

In a world obsessed with productivity and complex rituals, Brother Lawrence offers a liberating alternative. The Practice of the Presence of God reveals how a former soldier and footman—who described himself as a "clumsy blockhead"—transformed the menial labor of a monastery kitchen into a profound spiritual sanctuary. His "method" requires no special posture, no silent retreat, and no advanced degree; it simply requires an ongoing, conversational intimacy with the divine during every waking moment. Whether you are washing dishes, answering emails, or navigating a busy commute, Lawrence's wisdom shows that the "sacred" is not a place you go, but a perspective you carry.


Brother Lawrence famously claimed that he possessed God as peacefully in the "clatter of his kitchen" as if he were on his knees before the Blessed Sacrament. He teaches that by performing every small act out of love, we eliminate the divide between our "spiritual lives" and our "real lives."

Long before the modern mindfulness movement, Lawrence perfected the art of staying in the present. His focus on "pure love" and the "habitual silent conversation" serves as a powerful antidote to modern anxiety and the feeling of being constantly overwhelmed by "needless thoughts."

This book has remained in print for over 300 years because it is arguably the most accessible spiritual guide ever written. It is a favorite of world leaders, quiet seekers, and people of all faiths who desire a life of interior depth without withdrawing from the world. It is the ultimate proof that the smallest life can be the most significant.

    The existence of demons is woven into the fabric of the natural world, serving a dark yet necessary purpose. They are the whispers in the dark that keep humanity in line. Yet in most cases, those who are hunted never see the demon before he is at their throat. 
But there are sacred rules to the hunt. For each group targeted, one must survive. Marked by the demon and gifted with an amulet, they are immune to him and he is powerless to stop them. A single wound from them would be fatal. He is a monster to humanity, but these select humans are monsters to him. 
Yet, a weakness from years past is haunting him. Despite years of successful hunts, as this hunt approaches—something is different. Is he still the hunter or has he become the hunted?

Winner of the 2016 Indie Book Awards (Short Stories) 
 
 
Noelle Q. de Jesus’ collection of short stories is a striking debut of cultural exchanges and foreign tongues: stories that trace and sustain the conflict between man and woman, parent and child, country and identity, self and sexuality, love and loss. 
 
"... De Jesus' characters inhabit a world of regret, loss and unfulfilled longing. In these works, there is as much said in the silences and ellipses, as there are in the fraught, perfunctory exchanges. ... De Jesus' economy of words and her voice, bleak and spare, yet intimate, recalls the virtuosity of short story fiction masters, such as Lorrie Moore and Edith Pearlman." 
-The Straits Times 
 
“At the start of each compact narrative in this collection, Noelle Q. de Jesus places a cunning tiger of thrilling tension ready to spring. Thematically cogent, these stories are about the lives of the displaced" 
-Michael Carroll, Author of Little Reef and Other Stories, Lambda Literary Award Winner 2015 
 
“Carefully crafted and richly observed, these stories are filled with unforgettable women" 
-F.H. Batacan, Author of Smaller and Smaller Circles

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
A new century dawns, one in which America would become pre-eminent as its industrial might and military power rose above all others.  In literature too its authors tackled new forms and new ideas, they shied away from little, immersing themselves and their readers in the promise of a new Century.
