Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de la Motte-Guyon (Commonly known as Madame
Guyon - 13 April 1648 – 9 June 1717) is Christianity’s best-known
and most influential woman in church history. She was a
celebrated French Mystic, and one of the greatest Christian
leaders of all time. She was accused of advocating Quietism,
which was considered heretical by the Roman Catholic Church.
Madame Guyon was imprisoned from 1695 to 1703 after publishing
the book A Short and Very Easy Method of Prayer. The foundation
of her Quietism was laid in her study of St. Francis de Sales,
Madame de Chantal, and Thomas a Kempis. At age 16, she married
Jacques Guyon, a wealthy man of weak health, 22 years her senior.
Her public career as an evangelist of Quietism began soon after
her widowhood.
