Short and Easy Method of Prayer
Practical Teaching on Prayer
Madame Guyon
How should we pray? Should we sit, stand, or fall to our knees with our eyes close? Is there such thing as the proper way to pray? Madame Guyon's prayer styles disturbed the conventional church of her time. After she wrote this book, she was imprisoned for seven years. But after her death in 1717, it was published worldwide. This work reminds us to be quiet and take our time with God, letting His word penetrate our hearts as we patiently wait on Him. This prayer style is known today as contemplative prayer-a kind of prayer that chooses no time and place to pray but advocates for being in a state of constant prayer throughout the day. This work can be read quickly, but it would be much better to savor it little by little as we discover how to rest in His presence all the days of our lives.
