This reprint of the classic "Spiritual Progress" is unique in that it was not created from a computer scan but was hand-typed from the original work, and manually proofed. The 19th century translation remains intact, with no amendment, and the beauty and power of the language is evident. Though reprints of this powerful work have been available - they have been computerized scans using Optical Character Recognition - and the result has been error ridden works that were hardly worth printing. This reprint is an attempt to rectify that situation and to make this book available to a new generation of seekers after a higher experience in Christ.
A collection of five inspiring essays by three brilliant thinkers who graced the court of Louis the XIV. François Fénelon, Madame Guyon, and Père Lacombe. They encouraged people to seek God themselves and practiced a form of “Quietism” which was considered heretical by the Catholic Church. They believed that you could have intimacy with God outside of the bonds of the church. Madam Guyon believed in constant prayer to, and communion with, the Almighty. FRANÇOIS FÉNELON: • Christian Counsel • Spiritual Letters MADAME GUYON: • Method of Prayer • On the Way to God PÈRE LACOMBE: • Spiritual Maxims Over the past few centuries, many have been encouraged by these short essays and found them instrumental in deepening their relationship with God. You will be encouraged and inspired.
