A Method of Prayer is a book written by Thomas Cogswell Upham in 1859, which provides a detailed analysis of the work with the same title by Madame de la Mothe Guyon. Madame Guyon was a French mystic and writer who lived in the 17th century and wrote extensively on the subject of prayer and spiritual contemplation. In this book, Upham examines Madame Guyon's approach to prayer and meditation, and provides a comprehensive analysis of her teachings. He explores the various stages of prayer that Madame Guyon describes, from the initial stages of quieting the mind and focusing on God, to the more advanced stages of contemplation and union with God. Upham also discusses the challenges and pitfalls that can arise in the practice of prayer, and offers practical advice for overcoming them. Overall, A Method of Prayer is a valuable resource for anyone interested in deepening their spiritual practice and exploring the teachings of one of the great mystics of the Christian tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
