Union With God: Including 22 of Madam Guyon's Poems (Library of Spiritual Classics)

If you seek rebirth and enlistment. If you want to be truly born-again in Christ, and wander what it’s like to born-again and how to get there, this is the book.Madam Puyon described the distinct phases of her transformation, from baring her own cross daily and dying to herself, till the Lord daell in her heart like the Song of Solomon.It’s a tremendous blessing to read her writings and her life testimony. May readers be blessed by her writing like me.

Love this book. Not done reading. But first pages I was hooked.

Jeanne has been my spiritual mentor and I have read I believe all of her books to include the wonderful "Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ" This book I believe was written later in her life and while she was imprisoned in the infamous Bastille...it is for one who has risked journeying further into the spiritual walk. I rated it a 5 because I believe it is.

Deep. True. Authentic words of her intimate relations with God

I highly recommend this book. It’s has blessed my life! I also recommend Joe Sweet videos on YouTube Life of a Warrior! Free and good teaching!

Extremely insightful about spiritual truth. I love, love, love it. I would recommend the book to any seeker of God and truth.

Recommanded.

Far deeper in concept and application but for those who have experience in the interior or have done a fair amount of reading on the subject, it will provide greater enlightenment on the path to unity and union with God.

Very educative for individual spiritual development thereby you understand the Holy Spirit more and you start upholding God ,have a grasp on the knowledge of God ,u really need to read over and over to grasp the knowledge of God ,am reading it again to get it properly . Madam Guyon is really very deep in spiritual things with experience I suppose for I have read her biography and her writings are for the spiritual mature for u are to really really abandon yourself to God as Jesus did on the cross to almighty God. Try to know Christ more to understand this book.

Excellent Book

Love this woman

you have to read it over and over for the Lord to reveal truth

I did not like this book. I am amazed at all the positive reviews. I obviously do not "get" it perhaps. Basically this book is a detailed account on the loss of "self" or ego. To me, it sounds like the Christian equivalent to Buddhist or Hindu "enlightment". Reading Union With God reminded me of all the Buddhist meditation books I have read.But I don't know...while reading I was struck with the question as to why do I have to go through all that Jeanne Guyon describes to have "union" with God? For the past year I have been praying the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, and it seems to be a healthier, more enriching way to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ than Jeanne Guyon's method.Some concerns: chapter 3 really concerned me. She writes that the more you move to your centre, the more desolation you will feel, which is the end of self-nature. Also, she describes how the enemy attacks from all sides, and as you progress you find yourself unable to protect yourself, until finally you realize that the enemy is your "best friend and truest friend". I am wondering if she is saying that your self-nature perceives God as the enemy and then in the end you find out it's God, not your enemy. But, I am not sure, and it would be dangerous to find out it is the enemy. The reason I am not sure because she also says in Chapter 3 that every Christian virtue disappears, and as they depart you lose all joy within.In Chapter 6, I was confused with Jeanne Guyon's description of how God apparently causes suffering of the older Christian mentor so that the younger Christian can grow in her union with Him. How does she know this?I thoroughly enjoyed reading Guyon's Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ, though there were a few cautions I did have in that too. Especially the ending from SeedSowers, which explains the translation process and provided a sample of Guyon's actual text. The actual text was very complicated and confusing and I wondered then and do so now, that perhaps the translators could have made errors trying to understand and communicate in common English what Guyon wrote. I would caution readers on this book. I liked Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ and her autobiography, but Union With God doesn't sit right with me. As a practicing and devoted Christian, I honestly don't think you need to go through Guyon's process to have a deep and fulfilling relationship with Christ.

Book content will be 4-5 stars given it is a difficult topic, and book shares a great perspective.Wish there was a separate review for book print quality, which is 1-star - Book bought from "Repro Books-On-Demand" does not seem like original print because of following reasons:1. Page 41 and 56 in different font from rest of the pages, screen-shot attached (book publisher page specifies Times New Roman 12pt).2. Only 21 poems included, not 22 as the cover specifies.
