What reading level is The Practice of the Presence of God book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I know that for the right practice of it, the heart must be empty ofall other things; because GOD will possess the heart _alone_; and asHe cannot possess it _alone_ without emptying it of all besides, soneither can He act _there_, and do in it what He pleases, unless it beleft vacant to Him.
There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightfulthan that of a continual conversation with GOD. Those only cancomprehend it who practice and experience it; yet I do not advise youto do it ...from that motive. It is not pleasure which we ought to seekin this exercise; but let us do it from a principle of love, andbecause GOD would have us.
Were I a preacher, I should, above all other things, preach thepractice of _the presence of_ GOD; and, were I a director, I shouldadvise all the world to do it, so necessary do I think it, and so easytoo.
Ah! knew we but the want we have of the grace and assistance of GOD, we should never lose sight of Him, no, not for a moment. Believe me;make immediately a holy and firm resolution never more wilfully toforget Him, and to spend the rest of your days in His sacred presence, deprived for the love of Him, if He thinks fit, of all consolations.
