Читать книгу Jeanne Guyon’s Interior Faith - Jeanne de la Mothe Guyon - Страница 7

Jeanne Guyon understood the gospel of Luke as the revelation of the compassionate words and actions of Jesus Christ. In his Sermon on the Mount, he says, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God” (Luke 6:20). Jeanne Guyon experienced these words of spiritual consolation in the midst of profound spiritual poverty and lived his presence through an unhappy marriage, deaths of two children, unjust incarcerations, and physical abuse. She wrote this biblical commentary to help others understand that Jesus Christ’s words are true and to be trusted. I have translated this commentary to offer again the strengthening and consoling power of the interior Christian faith lived within the human heart, mind, and soul.

I offer this volume to all those who wish to live the profound Christian faith. Jeanne Guyon lived this and has helped many throughout the centuries find the path to hope and salvation.

These are the first English translation of Guyon’s French commentaries of Gospel of Luke. For the Bible translation, I chose the New Revised Standard Version.

I pray that this short volume be a place of spiritual refreshment for all who long for the living Word of Jesus Christ within our heart, the interior faith, as Jeanne Guyon called this.
