Practicing the Presence: The Inspirational Guide to Regaining Meaning and a Sense of Purpose in Your Life

This is the third Goldsmith book I have read. I don't know why it took me so long to pick up his books. His teachings are in line with my personal beliefs that I have had since childhood and his work validates them. They recommend this book and Living the Infinite Way after reading The Infinite Way. I preferred Practicing the Presence, it was an easier read for some reason. The real meat however, is in The Thunder of Silence recommended for advanced students, it will basically be my "bible" on The Infinite Way. As a student of the world's religions I have to say no other practice or book has brought me as much peace as those written by Mr. Goldsmith.

As a long time student of A Course in Miracles, I found Joel Goldsmith several years and he quickly became one of my ALL time favorite spiritual teachers. Joel has a gift for explaining deep and profound spiritual truths in an easy to understand, simplified manner. This book is for the novice, moderate and advanced student -something to gain for everyone. at ever level.However, If you desire to give your ALL to the presence of God, and abandon your ego self to the Mind of Christ, Joel Goldsmith will become a precious and well loved addition to your library. There is no light-weight- strictly feel good stuff here...although it does uplift you...there are no half way measures in seeking God fully, but Joel illustrates beautifully how and why a complete surrender to God is the loftiest and most worthy goal of all true seekers!AMAZING!

For those who have spent any appreciable time searching for Truth in their lives.... Practicing The Presence will speak to you in a way that only you can hear. Only when we are open to hearing the truth about God... as a true seeker is.... will we hear Truth when it is revealed to us. In this work Goldsmith strikes home again and again that Spiritual Law spares no one.... and that only Love... God’s Love... which becomes our Love when we accept God’s Grace.... will show us the true reality of the folly of duality. There is only one Power... there is only Good... and the more we Practice The Presence, the more fully we reside in that “peace which passeth all understanding”.

Joel Goldsmith is one of the greatest spiritual teachers of our time. His message is clear and compelling. If you can hold the conviction that there is only ONE Power and realize this ONE is within you is without hesitation then you will be free and find everything your heart has been seeking. I probably could highlight every sentence in this book. Practicing the Presence zeros in on what you must do to gain enlightenment and you truly feel Joel is speaking directly to you.

In my 45 years of studying this subject, this is among the best books on achieving peace of mind and joy.

This was the first Joel Goldsmith's book I read over twenty years ago and it was wonderful to buy it again. It is all-in-all a great book. Thanks.

I loved this book. It is more instructive than his book Infinite Way. It goes into what needs to be practiced.

If you listen you will hear. We deny our inner voice, conscious, soul but it is always there for you. You know the way go back and listen. If you find yourself troubled please take the time to read this book.

Practising the Presence is a wonderfully inspiring book. I always manage to gain more insight into the cause of all things each time I re-read it. A must-own book.

I just must read something everyday from Joel Goldsmith. Like water and food, cannot go without it!

Still reading it .

This was my bible last year, it is so full of wisdom.A simple read that gave me daily insights for my spiritual journey.It helped me unlock many blessings that came my way right after finishing this book. Chapter 5 A-MA-ZING
