This work hand selects a number of her previously published poems that celebrate her Christian experience, devotion to Christ, and mysticism. It also includes original material by the publisher. This includes an Introduction, a Foreword on 'Mysticism. Mystics,and the Christian Experience' and a brief biographical account of Madame Guyon as annotated content that helps readers to understand and honor this outstanding woman of the Christian faith.
