Read this book to enlighten your soul and mind. Concise View of the Way to God And Of the State of Union' By Madame Guyon (Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de la Motte-Guyon) (April 18, 1648 - June 9, 1717) This English translation originally appeared in "Spiritual Progress or Instructions in the Divine Life of the Soul: from the French of Fenelon and Madame Guyon"; Printed in 1853; Edited by James W. Metcalf. Jeanne Marie Bouvieres de la Mothe Guyon was the leader of the Quietist movement in France. She studied the works of many saints and was much influenced by St. Francis de Sales, Madame de Chantal, and Thomas a Kempis. At age 16, she married Jacques Guyon, a wealthy man who was 22 years older than her. She went through a lot of suffering in her 12 years of married life. These were years of fruitful spiritual training of her interior life of prayer. At age 28, she became a widow and her public life as an evangelist of Quietism began. Quietism is a Christian philosophy that swept through France, Italy and Spain during the 17th century, but it had much earlier origins. The mystics known as Quietists insist with more or less emphasis on intellectual stillness and interior passivity as essential conditions of perfection.

This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
