"Prayer is the application of the heart to God, and the internal exercise of love." —Madame Guyon
A Short and Easy Method of Prayer teaches the importance of:
- Respectful silence.
- Seeking Him with fidelity and love.
- Patience in prayer.
- Collecting yourself inwardly.
- Total abandonment of self to God.
This basic but powerful understanding about prayer has such incredible results, that it tends to shake up the normal thoughts about prayer.
Shortly after A Short and Easy Method of Prayer was written, Madame Guyon was imprisoned—for 7 years—because her prayer styles unsettled the established church of the time.
The author wrote "...to induce the world to love God and to serve Him with comfort and success, in a simple and easy manner..." Little did she know that after her death in 1717, her "little treatise" would be published and read worldwide.
Learn what Madam Guyon knew and published nearly three hundred years ago and see your prayer life transformed!

Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717) wrote from the depth of her own spiritual experiences. Growing up in France during the decadent times of Louis XIV, she was devout at an early age, but was then caught up in the worldliness around her. After an arranged marriage at age sixteen, she became increasingly interested in spiritual things; and, for the rest of her life, she continued to seek God diligently, teach others, and write books on Christian devotion. These books have become Christian classics. Guyon paid a heavy price for her views and her writings. Throughout her life, she underwent various trials, including persecution and imprisonment for her beliefs. Her commentary on Song of Songs was used to sentence her to prison.
