A Short Method of Prayer & Spiritual Torrents

Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de la Motte-Guyon (commonly known as Madame Guyon) was a French mystic and one of the key advocates of Quietism. Quietism was considered heretical by the Roman Catholic Church and she was imprisoned from 1695 to 1703 after publishing a book on the topic A Short and Easy Method of Prayer. Guyon believed that one should pray all the time and that in whatever one does one should be spending time with God.
