Jeanne Marie Bouvier de la Motte Guyon Books

Jeanne Marie Bouvières de la Mothe Guyon, known as Madame Guyon, was a central figure in the Quietist movement in France. Her spiritual teachings, rooted in her study of mystics, were profoundly shaped by her personal experiences of hardship and widowhood. Following her husband's death, she embarked on a public career as an evangelist of Quietism, initially facing opposition and imprisonment for her views. Despite condemnations by prominent church figures, her fervent enthusiasm captivated many, including those at the French court. Her extensive writings continue to explore profound themes of spiritual surrender and divine union.
