for the heart with one desire: Him

if you've read any of Guyon's other works, particularly her autobigraphy, and found that you have experienced anything similar to what she describes, then this is a great book to read. i found in it the only accurate description of the difficulties and pains of the deserts the God brings a surrendered Christian through. it was a comfort to me during the most difficult time in my spiritual walk, even more then her autobiography or "experiencing the depths of Jesus Christ." if you know what it is like to feel that God has left you or even that He is slaying you, read this book. if not, it will be difficult for you to understand or accept what she describes.
