Описание: In seventeenth-century France, Jeanne Guyon wrote about God, ""I loved him, and I burned with his fire because I loved him, and I loved him in such a way that I could love only him, but in loving him I had no motive save himself."" She called this the pure love of God. Guyon traveled throughout Europe teaching others how to pray and her books became popular bestsellers. She expressed her Christian faith that Jesus Christ lives within our interior life. As Guyon became increasingly popular, the church and state authorities used the power of the Roman Catholic Inquisition and arrested her, charging her with heresy. Guyon spent nearly ten years incarcerated, including five years in the Bastille, from 1698-1703. Finally the state authorities judged her innocent. After her release, she lived in Blois on the Loire River and welcomed visitors from Europe and the New World who talked with her about the Christian faith. This is the first English translation of Guyon's Commentaries on Galatians, Ephesians, and Colossians with Explanations and Reflections on the Interior Life. ""We owe Nancy James an enormous debt of gratitude for this marvelous translation of the seventeenth-century spiritual writer commonly known as Madame Guyon. Guyon's spirituality of passionate quietude and simplicity, highly controverted and repeatedly condemned during her life, needs a retrieval for our time of feverish multitasking and incessant distraction, and no one is more qualified to perform this task than Nancy James. May Guyon's commentaries on Pauline writings continue to nourish our souls "" --Peter C. Phan, Author of The Joy of Religious Pluralism Nancy Carol James is a priest associate at St. John's, Lafayette Sq., Washington, DC. She has written ten books about Jeanne Guyon.

Описание: Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de la Motte-Guyon (commonly known as Madame Guyon) was a French mystic and one of the key advocates of Quietism. Quietism was considered heretical by the Roman Catholic Church, and she was imprisoned from 1695 to 1703 after publishing a book on the topic, A Short and Easy Method of Prayer. Guyon believed that one should pray all the time, and that in whatever one does, one should be spending time with God.

Описание: The first English translation of Jeanne Guyon's The Way of the Child Jesus. Many have found spiritual satisfaction in the theology of Madame Guyon (1648-1717). In this short book The Way of the Child Jesus: Our Model of Perfection, Guyon writes her theology in a helpful way. She clearly describes the interior transformation caused by the mystery of the Child Jesus and offers hope for life lived in Christ's spiritual grace. Guyon shows that the Child Jesus may cling to us and provide a shelter from the storms of life. The Spirit then reveals God's character within and makes a stable and happy home for Christ within our heart. Translated and introduced by America's leading authority on Guyon, Nancy Carol James, this book offers wisdom for all seeking a profound and prayerful relationship with Christ. "Not only is Madame Guyon a deep and profound theologian, but she invites the Christian into an ever deeper relationship with God. Madame Guyon stands alongside the greats in the mystical tradition-Mother Julian of Norwich, Meister Eckhart, and Thomas Kempis." -- Dr. Ian Markham, dean of Virginia Theological Seminary Nancy Carol James has a PhD from the University of Virginia with her dissertation written about Jeanne Guyon. Other books by Nancy Carol James include Guyon's biography I, Jeanne Guyon. James has also translated and published Guyon's poems and emblems in her famous book The Soul, Lover of God. The front cover and title page show emblems drawn by Flemish artist D'Othon Vaenius Madame Guyon used these in her 1717 book The Soul, Lover of God. Endorsed by the Madame Guyon Foundation.
