About this book

The Complete Madame Guyon: Spiritual Classics from One of Christianity's Most Powerful Mystic Voices

Discover the enduring wisdom and passionate spirituality of Madame Jeanne Guyon (1648–1717), one of the most influential Christian mystics in history. The Complete Madame Guyon brings together her most beloved works— including A Short and Easy Method of Prayer and her stunning Commentary on the Song of Songs —in fresh, accessible translations for today's spiritual seekers.

Why Readers Love Madame Guyon:

  • Deeply contemplative Christian wisdom rooted in Scripture
  • Timeless teachings on prayer, divine union, and spiritual surrender
  • Elegant mystical poetry—some never before translated into English
  • Historical insights into 17th-century faith, politics, and resilience

In this all-in-one volume, you'll explore Guyon's radical call to experience the pure love of God—not through ritual or intellect alone, but through the inner transformation of the soul. Her spiritual vision, once condemned and even banned by the Catholic Church, continues to inspire readers seeking authentic intimacy with God.

What's Inside:

  • A Short and Easy Method of Prayer – a spiritual classic beloved by mystics and contemplatives for centuries
  • Commentary on the Song of Songs – a lyrical, symbolic exploration of divine love
  • Poems of the Soul – raw, heartfelt poetry newly translated into English
  • Historical Introduction by Dr. Nancy James – tracing Guyon's remarkable life from noblewoman to prisoner to spiritual icon
  • Selections from her extensive biblical commentaries and her theological defense writings

Perfect For:

  • Readers of Christian mysticism and contemplative spirituality
  • Fans of Teresa of Ɓvila, John of the Cross, or Thomas Merton
  • Seekers longing for a deeper, prayer-filled relationship with God
  • Students of church history, mysticism, and Catholic spirituality

Whether you're beginning your spiritual journey or are a seasoned contemplative, The Complete Madame Guyon invites you to experience the mystery, joy, and power of a soul in love with God.
