Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de la Motte-Guyon (known as Madame Guyon) (1648 - 1717) was a French mystic. Guyon believed that we should pray all the time, whatever one was doing, to be also spending time with God.

Quietism was considered heretical by the Roman Catholic Church, and she was imprisoned from 1695 to 1703 after publishing the book, A Short Method of Prayer.

This edition is exemplary for scholars of religious studies, devotees of Christian mysticism, and anyone who cherishes the enduring resonance of an authentically lived faith.

The author tells about different aspects of prayer and offers glimpses of its depth. The book provides a way of understanding a deeper prayer and tells of effortlessness of coming to God in prayer.

This volume contains two timeless classics on inner prayer and experiencing God from the woman who "loved Christ too much": Experiencing Union with God through Inner Prayer and The Way and Results of that Union.

This is the first English translation of Guyon’s Commentaries on Galatians, Ephesians, and Colossians with Explanations and Reflections on the Interior Life.
