"atthew B. #ellers $from %i&erside' California( comments)"The writings of Madame Guyon have been the single-most influential thing in my spiritual

life, other than the Bible. At the beginning of my born-again experiene, ! was fortunateenough to reeive a opy of Guyons boo#, "$xperiening the depths of %esus &hrist" asmy very first &hristian devotional. 'eedless to say, that little event, brought about by divineprovidene, hanged my relationship with God forever. (rom that point on, the )oly *piritwould use her writings to mentor me into the deep things of God. "The %ustifiations",written in the +s and only reently translated from the original (renh is one suhboo#. ! find this -volume piee to be most omplete, in-depth wor# ever penned byMadame Guyon on the inner life."

Barbara *einstein/from &oxsa#ie, 'ew 0or#1 omments2"! was born. ! was born again. ! was introdued to Madame Guyon. ! an now prolaim

that truly, %esus is my 3ord. Truly, God !* 3ove. And ! am filled to overflowing4"

1ddressed 9y the 1uthor to the 1rch9ishops, her .;aminers!

4 have su9mitted my writings purely and simply in all which concerns me: although 4 may 9e indifferent to

the use made of them! 4 9elieve 4 must in truth ma$e $nown the conformity they have with approved Doctors!The wor$ that 4 am doing in this is only to give more light to the truth and to ma$e it 9etter $nown, without

claiming to 9e 9othered a9out the destiny of my writings, protesting that 4 ta$e no interest in it, and that 4 will

never even ma$e inHuiries a9out what is made of them! This 9eing the case, 4 will ta$e up the propositions,

which are in printed 2oo$s, and those of the serious 1uthors who support them, with the dates, so that one can

compare them! od, who sees the 9ottom of the hearts, $nows that this has come into my spirit only since 4

learned that they have the charity to e;amine my writings, and that 4 am 9y no means doing it to support my

opinion, 9ut to clarify the truth! 4 as$ with earnest that all my writings may 9e e;amined! 1s the 5anticle was a

continuation 'of the .;planations- of all the Writings up to there, it is not at all e;plained, and one assumes that

which precedes it was read! 4t is in all the writings 'where the feelings are e;plained more fully, either in one

place, or in another- that one may Budge my thoughts and my faith as Bust! This charity is worthy of you,

entlemen!
