Madame Jeanne Guyon

Experiencing Union with God Through Inner Prayer & the Way and Results of Union with God

By: Jeanne Marie Bouvier de La Motte Guyon,Madame Jeanne Guyon

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. In a time when her church focused on external works, Madame Jeanne Guyon looked into the heart of the matter and found that it's the prayers of the soul that God desires. For daring to teach this to the mass of people "who knew not God in their hearts," she was once imprisoned by her own church leaders for seven years--four of those years in the notorious Bastille in Paris, France.

The Autobiography of Madame Guyon

By: Madame Jeanne Guyon

Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de la Motte-Guyon (commonly known as Madame Guyon, 13 April 1648 - 9 June 1717) was a French mystic and was accused of advocating Quietism, although she never called herself a Quietist (Intellectual stillness and interior passivity). Quietism was considered heretical by the Roman Catholic Church, and she was imprisoned from 1695 to 1703 after publishing the book A Short and Very Easy Method of Prayer. Guyon believed that one should pray at all times, and that one should devote all one's time to God. "Prayer is the key of perfection and of sovereign happiness; it is the efficacious means of getting rid of all vices and of acquiring all virtues; for the way to become perfect is to live in the presence of God. He tells us this Himself: 'walk before Me and be blameless' Genesis 17:1. Prayer alone can bring you into His presence, and keep you there continually." As she wrote in one of her poems: "There was a period when I chose a time and place for prayer. ... But now I seek that constant prayer, in inward stillness known ..." In the Christian dispute regarding grace and works, Guyon defended the belief that salvation is the result of grace rather than works. Like St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Calvin, and Martin Luther, she thought that a person's deliverance can only come from God as an outside source, never from within the person himself or herself. As a result of His own free will, God bestows his favour as a gift. This predestination was opposed by Pelagians, who considered it to be irrational in that God would favour a wicked sinner over a good person. However, according to the atheist Schopenhauer, describing this controversy, "if it were works, springing from motives and deliberate intention, that led to the blissful state, then, however we may turn it, virtue would always be only a prudent, methodical, far-seeing egoism. ... Works ...can never justify, because they are always an action from motives." In her autobiography, for example, Madame Guyon criticized self-righteous people who try to gain heaven through their works. She praised lowly sinners who merely submitted themselves to God's will. Of the so-called righteous, she wrote: "the righteous person, supported by the great number of works of righteousness he presumes to have done, seems to hold his salvation in his own hands, and regards heaven as the recompense due to his merits.... His Saviour is, for him, almost useless. "These 'righteous persons' expect God to save them as a reward for their good works." In contrast to the self-sufficient, "righteous" egoists, the sinners who have selflessly submitted to God "are carried swiftly by the wings of love and confidence into the arms of their Saviour, who gives them gratuitously what He has infinitely merited for them". God's "bounties are effects of His will, and not the fruits of our merits." (wikipedia.org)

Madame Guyon

An Autobiography

By: Jeanne Marie Bouvier de La Motte Guyon,Madame Guyon

In addition to achieving a profound intimacy with God, her life fulfilled an apostolic vocation that provoked a showdown between the French King (Louis XIV) and the Papacy, between Catholic orthodoxy and its own mystical traditions, between the Church and the protestant mystical movements that were born in that era. She did all this quite accidentally, in profound subjection to her sense of the will of God in her. By her accidental bumbling ... she exposed the banality and hypocrisy of religion in her time and the hollowness of the French Court, while at the same time demonstrating what it might mean to live one's life in total accord with God, in a state of what she called "l'amour pur"--A love of God untainted by any hope or expectation of what we may want God to do for us. The historical scope and significance of Madame Guyon's life is not apparent in her Autobiography. The reader will need to wade into the formidable and acerbic body of scholarly commentary to go further. But the publishers ... correctly sense that the freshness and sincerity of Madame Guyon's story and worldview, told in her own words, needs little in the way of historical context. This book will challenge you to surrender to the divine inside of you ..."--Amazon.com.

Jeanne Guyon's Christian Worldview

Her Biblical Commentaries on Galatians, Ephesians, and Colossians with Explanations and Reflections on the Interior Life

By: Jeanne de la Mothe Guyon

In seventeenth-century France, Jeanne Guyon wrote about God, “I loved him, and I burned with his fire because I loved him, and I loved him in such a way that I could love only him, but in loving him I had no motive save himself.” She called this the pure love of God. Guyon traveled throughout Europe teaching others how to pray and her books became popular bestsellers. She expressed her Christian faith that Jesus Christ lives within our interior life. As Guyon became increasingly popular, the church and state authorities used the power of the Roman Catholic Inquisition and arrested her, charging her with heresy. Guyon spent nearly ten years incarcerated, including five years in the Bastille, from 1698–1703. Finally the state authorities judged her innocent. After her release, she lived in Blois on the Loire River and welcomed visitors from Europe and the New World who talked with her about the Christian faith. This is the first English translation of Guyon’s Commentaries on Galatians, Ephesians, and Colossians with Explanations and Reflections on the Interior Life.

Jeanne Guyon's Mystical Perfection through Eucharistic Suffering

Her Biblical Commentary on Saint John's Gospel

By: Jeanne de la Mothe Guyon

Madame Jeanne Guyon (1648–1717), a woman of great wisdom and worship, was filled with the richness of God’s grace as she endured hardships and abuse in her married life. Blessed with children and great earthly wealth, she suffered physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually at the hands of her spiritual leaders, imprisoned unjustly for her simple yet solid faith in Christ, her Divine Confidant. Trusting in her Lord, she expressed her insights in commentaries concerning the Scriptures, seeing in them the mysteries of the holy Eucharist, the sacrificial presence of her merciful Savior. Through her intercession, we are inspired to adore the Lord, uniting our suffering to his as she did.

Jeanne Guyon's Apocalyptic Universe

Her Biblical Commentary on Revelation with Reflections on the Interior Life

By: Jeanne de la Mothe Guyon

In seventeenth-century France, Jeanne Guyon (1648–1717) writes about the suffering of the apocalypse followed by the consummation of the second coming. Guyon believed that in our earthly pilgrimage, we may find the way to union with our Savior Jesus Christ. To read her commentary on Revelation—translated into English here for the first time—is to be caught up in her conversation with the living Lord. We experience the wonder and passion of this conversation which is her authenticity at its highest level. As Guyon expresses her love to Jesus Christ, the words carry the attentive reader into the heart of God while deepening our own interior being. In her commentary on Revelation, Guyon interprets Jesus Christ’s grace needed for living faithfully during the time of suffering in the apocalypse before the advent of the new heaven and new earth in which believers experience eternal union with God. Guyon writes, “It is your universal reign that I desire, O God, and about which I am passionate. . . . So come, Lord Jesus! Let the grace of the Lord Jesus prepare us all for the second coming. Amen.”

A Short and Easy Method of Prayer

By: Madame Jeanne Guyon

This little treatise, conceived in great simplicity, was not originally intended for publication: it was written for a few individuals who wanted to love God with their whole heart; some of whom, because of the profit they received in reading the manuscript, wished to obtain copies of it; and, on this account alone, it was committed to the press. It still remains in its original simplicity, without any censure on the various leadings of others. Jeanne Guyon was a masterful teacher of simple truths in prayer and a celebrated French mystic of the seventeenth century. Piously trained by her parents she was profoundly impressed by the works of St. Francis de Sales. A Short and Easy Method of Prayer is NOT Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ, Volume 2 that has been adapted for modern publications. This reprint is from the oldest copy RDMc Publishing could locate. It has been reproduced without any textual watermarks or intentional word changes
