Description
The French mystic Madame Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de la Motte is also known as Madame Guyon. Her teachings emphasized quietism, a discipline minimizing the importance of the external world to faith, which she taught in spite of bitter opposition from the church of her day. Many Christians have a deep longing to know God more intimately. Therefore, this volume may help Christians obtain spiritual depths not found in organized Christianity.
