A Short and Easy Method of PrayerThis little treatise, conceived in great simplicity, was not originally intended for publication: it was written for a few individuals who wanted to love God with their whole heart; some of whom, because of the profit they received in reading the manuscript, wished to obtain copies of it; and, on this account alone, it was committed to the press. It still remains in its original simplicity, without any censure on the various leadings of others. Jeanne Guyon was a masterful teacher of simple truths in prayer and a celebrated French mystic of the seventeenth century. Piously trained by her parents she was profoundly impressed by the works of St. Francis de Sales. A Short and Easy Method of Prayer is NOT Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ, Volume 2 that has been adapted for modern publications. This reprint is from the oldest copy RDMc Publishing could locate. It has been reproduced without any textual watermarks or intentional word changes |
