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 2020-01-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monasticism, in all of its variations, was a feature of almost every landscape in the medieval West. So ubiquitous were religious women and men throughout the Middle Ages that all medievalists encounter monasticism in their intellectual worlds. While there is enormous interest in medieval monasticism among Anglophone scholars, language is often a barrier to accessing some of the most important and groundbreaking research emerging from Europe. The Cambridge History of Medieval Monasticism in the Latin West offers a comprehensive treatment of medieval monasticism, from Late Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. The essays, specially commissioned for this volume and written by an international team of scholars, with contributors from Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States, cover a range of topics and themes and represent the most up-to-date discoveries on this topic.
