They Lived With God: Life Stories of Some Devotees of Sri Ramakrishna

How did Ramakrishna’s aptitude for inner experience translate into the lives of the ordinary man and women he inspired? The more than thirty-one devotees covered in They Lived with God had to face addiction, abusive husbands, disobedient children, indifferent or hostile relatives, bereavements, and spiritual doubts and misgivings. Particular attention is paid to the way they faced death. Their failures and triumphs are entertaining, practical examples for anyone seeking to work and live with an awareness of God’s abiding presence. The revised second edition has been enlarged to include three new biographies; Bhavanath Chattopadhyay, Narendra Nath Mitra, and Tejchandra Mitra.
