Madame Guyon

"Madame Guyon (1648-1717) wrote this introspective account of her life while imprisoned unjustly. Her only crime was that of loving God, yet it was the church itself which had imprisoned her. In describing this autobiography she said 'My earnest wish is to paint in true colors the goodness of God to me, and the depth of my own ingratitude.' Her amazing recognition of God's grace, coupled with an acute awareness of her own sinfulness, forms the heart of this story." (From Back Cover)
