Autobiography of Madame Guyon "My earnest wish is to paint in true colors the goodness of God to me, and the depth of my own ingratitude." Jeanne Marie Bouvie de La Motte was born near Paris in 1648. She was a sickly child who married a wealthy neighbor (22 years her senior) when she was 16 years of age. At age 28 she was a widow with three small children. At age 47 she was imprisoned because her writings about God and prayer ran contrary to the established Church of the time. She lost her freedom for 7 years during which time she continued to write about the God she loved. "People want to direct God instead of resigning themselves to be directed by Him. They want to show Him a way, instead of passively following that wherein He leads them. Hence many souls, called to enjoy God Himself, and not barely His gifts, spend all their lives in running after little consolations, and feeding on them-resting there only, making all their happiness to consist therin." You are invited to read Madame Guyon's autobiography and judge for yourself if her experiences and writings are ones to condemn or condone.

"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)

In the history of the world few persons have attained that high degree of spirituality reached by Madame Guyon. Born in a corrupt age, in a nation marked for its degeneracy; nursed and reared in a church, as profligate as the world in which it was embedded; persecuted at every step of her career; groping as she did in spiritual desolation and ignorance, nevertheless, she arose to the highest pinnacle of pre-eminence in spirituality and Christian devotion. She lived and died in the Catholic Church; yet was tormented and afflicted; was maltreated and abused; and was imprisoned for years by the highest authorities of that church. Her sole crime was that of loving God. The ground of her offense was found in her supreme devotion and unmeasured attachment to Christ. When they demanded her money and estate, she gladly surrendered them, even to her impoverishment, but it availed nothing. The crime of loving Him in whom her whole being was absorbed, never could be mitigated, or forgiven.
