Book Excerpt: 
. . .ARE COMMANDED TO PRAY—PRAYER THE GREAT MEANS OF SALVATION, AND POSSIBLE AT ALL TIMES BY THE MOST SIMPLE.

Prayer is nothing else but the application of the heart to God, and the interior exercise of love. St Paul commands us to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess. v. 17). Our Lord says: “Take ye heed, watch and pray.” “And what I say unto you, I say unto all” (Mark xiii. 33, 37). All, then, are capable of prayer, and it is the duty of all to engage in it.

But I do not think that all are fit for [p2] meditation; and, therefore, it is not that sort of prayer which God demands or desires of them.

As she puts it, "We have all been called to the depths of Christ just as surely as we have been called to salvat

This book changed my life. I'm actually re-reading it after having read it 11 years ago. I was thinking today in church how the forefathers of our faith only knew the Old Testament and the spirit of God to teach them the walk. The whole purpose of this book is to guide the reader into being sensitiv

I really took my time reading this. Phrase after phrase just filled me up with so much more that inspiration! Practical pathways of a life of prayer… This is the substance of this work. I need to read all of Madam Guyon’s works!

Jeanne Guyon is my mentor. I ran across this book in a bookstore over 30 years ago. Jeanne taught me how to read Scripture, how to pray and how to hear from God! I can't wait to thank her in person!

While reading this amazingly rich guide, several times I had to stop and ponder how a woman in the 1600s could have written this without today's university education, formal Bible study, or guidance from other teachers. I think that is what God does, equips the willing, perhaps not just the educated
