About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of A Short and Easy Method of Prayer, by Jeanne Marie Bouvier de la Motte Guyon. Read by Jordan. Originally published in 1685, Madame Guyon’s A Short and Easy Method of Prayer is considered a classic of Christian mysticism, influencing great writers and speakers such as John Wesley and Charles Spurgeon. In it, Madame Guyon carefully and briefly sets out her ‘unmethodical method’ by which any and all can commune with God at any time and under any circumstances. (Summary by Jordan)
