Product Description

The Autobiography of Madame Guyon is a spiritual memoir written by Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de la Motte-Guyon, also known as Madame Guyon. The book chronicles her life from her childhood in France to her experiences as a mystic and religious leader in the 17th century. Madame Guyon was a devout Catholic who believed in the importance of a personal relationship with God, and her writing reflects her deep spirituality and commitment to her faith.The book covers a range of topics, including Madame Guyon's spiritual awakening, her time spent in prison for her beliefs, and her encounters with other religious figures of her time. She also discusses her views on prayer, meditation, and the role of suffering in the spiritual journey.Throughout the book, Madame Guyon emphasizes the importance of surrendering oneself to God and allowing Him to guide one's life. She argues that true spiritual growth comes from a deep trust in God and a willingness to let go of one's own desires and plans.Overall, The Autobiography of Madame Guyon is a powerful testament to one woman's journey of faith and her belief in the transformative power of God's love. It is a must-read for anyone interested in spirituality, mysticism, and the history of religious thought.No mortal could die in a more Christian disposition, or with more courage than he did, after having received the sacrament in a manner truly edifying. I was not present when he expired, for out of tenderness he made me retire. He was above twenty hours unconscious and in the agonies of his death. It was in the morning of July 21, 1676, that he died. Next day I entered into my closet, in which was the image of my divine spouse, the Lord Jesus Christ. I renewed my marriage-contract, and added thereto a vow of chastity, with a promise to make it perpetual, if M. Bertot my director, would permit me. After that I was filled with great joy, which was new to me, as for a long time past I had been plunged in the deepest bitterness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
