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
- 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.
John Wesley thought so highly of this
book that he had it translated from French into English for the members of
his "Holy Club."
