Guyon invites readers into a more interior practice: recollection, silence, love, surrender, and the gradual yielding of self-will before God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in the late seventeenth century, Guyon's little work became one of the most influential texts of Christian mysticism and contemplative devotion. Its method is direct: turn inward, become still, love God simply, and allow prayer to deepen beyond words. That teaching made the book beloved by many seekers of spiritual intimacy, but also controversial in its own time, especially because Guyon's emphasis on passive prayer and total abandonment to God was associated with the debates over Quietism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders interested in Christian mysticism, contemplative prayer, spiritual surrender, devotional classics, Catholic spirituality, and the history of inward religion will find \u003cem\u003eA Short Method of Prayer\u003c\/em\u003e a concise but powerful work. It remains valuable because it speaks to a hunger that organized religion does not always satisfy: the desire for prayer that becomes less performance than presence, less effort than surrender, and less speech than love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50377887547629,"sku":"9781515426691","price":30.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/l3RXKiMpyt9781515426691.webp?v=1785619686","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-au\/products\/a-short-method-of-prayer-the-path-of-inward-prayer-and-spiritual-surrender-hardcover","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
