Description: At one time this book was publicly burned in France and yet it has also been received by seeking Christians as one of the most helpful and powerful Christian books ever written. Jeanne Guyon's has played a major part in the lives of more famous Christians than perhaps any other Christian book. Here is the very first edition written in modern English.
Brief description: JEANNE GUYON is Christianity's best-known and most influential woman in church history. Her autobiography has moved the hearts of believers for three centuries. Even today, in France, she is one of the greatest figures of French history. Guyon's influence reached the court of Louis XIV. Jealousy ensued, and she was imprisoned in the infamous Bastille. For most of her life she suffered persecution at the hands of the church, because she believed all Christians could have a rich prayer life. Perhaps John Wesley summed it up best: "Guyon is the greatest Christian to rise since the first century."

This is an inspiring book, Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ by Madame Guyon. Every Christian should read it. It is a picker-upper for a not going anywhere Christain. Don & Bonnie Stuckless recommend it for a who want to 'go on' in God.
This classic is the living picture of how to attain Christlikeness.

This book puts into practice the most expressive steps to reaching the ultimate: pure intimacy with Christ Jesus.
I commend Gene Edwards for perpetuating the publishing of this spiritual classic. Edwards' epilogue gives us a wonderful history of this book, written some 320+ years ago. The author, Jeanne Guyon, was declared a heretic by the Catholic church and banished to prison for life. She did not love her life even to the enduring of death itself, but glorified her Savior by her testimony and her instructions have given you and me the glorious opportunity to find that intimate, personal relationship with Him for eternity.
I highly recommend this book.ENLIGHTEN YOUR WALK WITH THE GREAT I AM
