The Prison Narratives of Jeanne Guyon

Zusatztext The aristocratic French mystic Madame Guyon exercised remarkable influence among both Catholics and Protestants, not simply in her lifetime (1648-1717) but throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The recent discovery of her 'prison narratives' has opened a new window into Guyon's life, and this lucid introduction and English translation by Mourad and Guenin-Lelle beautifully present a vivid narrative from one of the pivotal figures of modern Christian spirituality.
