Teach Children to Do Everything For the Love of God
In “The Grumpy Monk,” author Robin Khoury introduces children to the famous Brother Lawrence. The writings of this 17th century Christian mystic have helped many generations of believers learn to do everything for the love of God. In telling Brother Lawrence’s story, Robin seeks to help children learn to practice God’s presence in all the experiences of day to day life. The attractive illustrations by Agnieszka Korfanty add vividness and joy to the beautifully-written narrative.

. . .I read it for the fourth time and that time we talked about Brother Lawrence’s prayer and changed attitude and how God had helped him feel better and not be grumpy. What a wonderful experience sharing this book with our grandchildren and watching their reaction to God’s truth at such a young age. (Click here to read the entire story and see pictures.)

Hi Robin,
How fun to find your website! I didn’t know you had written a book. And what a book…Brother Lawrence’s book changed my life many years ago. My mentor suggested I read it. It helped me understand that God is with me in everything I do. Can’t wait to read your re-telling of one of my favorites.
Blessings,
Debbie Jourden
Well thanks so much Debbie! The Practice of the Presence of God has meant a lot to me, too. I am really excited about sharing Brother Lawrence’s secret with children! You can see some preview pages on our Little Light Press Facebook Fan page.
We also have a Facebook group that is called Friends of Little Light Press that will allow you to get our updates. God bless dear!
