About the Author
Jeanne Guyon (1648–1717) wrote from the depth of her own spiritual experiences. Growing up in France during the decadent times of Louis XIV, she was devout at an early age, but was then caught up in the worldliness around her. After an arranged marriage at age fifteen, she became increasingly interested in spiritual things; and, for the rest of her life, she continued to seek God diligently, teach others, and write books on Christian devotion. These books have become Christian classics. Guyon paid a heavy price for her views and her writings. Throughout her life, she underwent various trials, including persecution and imprisonment for her beliefs. Her commentary on Song of Songs was used to sentence her to prison.

Elementary Book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Experiencing God Through Prayer (Paperback)
Let me just say I love Madame Guyon's writings but this book was so elementary that I was turned off. You can literally read this book in one sitting. I have read Madame Guyon's spiritual torrents and Short Method of Prayer. They are a lot better than this. Mainly because I think this book was revised and isn't in her own speech and use of language. It is modernized. I didn't like that. Her own language carries with it her spirit and with her spirit her spiritual life and with her spiritual life her relationship with God. In her other books you can feel the closeness to God. Although whether modernized or not most of what I read in this book can be read online in either or of Spiritual Torrents and Short Method of Prayer. But I bought the book for like less than 5 dollars so how can I complain.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant, Deep, Profound,
This review is from: Experiencing God Through Prayer (Paperback)
This is a brilliant book. It discusses prayer in a profound way ... a way that goes beyond the typical evangelical form of prayer. It's also extremely practical. This book has been published under other titles, but I believe this version to be the best and the most readable. It also contains Guyon's famous "Short Method."
One reviewer who gave the book a low score said this volume was simplistic. Not so. The content reaches the depths of the Christian experience in prayer. If you are someone who wants to go higher and further in communication with the Lord, this is a must-read book.
