In A Short and Easy Method of Prayer, Jeanne Marie Guyon explains how her method of quiet prayer helps Christians to enter into the presence of their Father and follow his Holy Spirit in their day-to-day work. First published in 1685, this book became the focal point for intense debate within the Catholic church and led to the author's imprisonment in 1689. As a rejuvenated paraphrase of elderly translations from the original French, this edition captures Guyon's timeless observations in the language of the present.
