Spiritual Guide: A Classic Guide to the Inward Life, Prayer, and Union with God: 5 (Library of Spiritual Classics) - Softcover
Synopsis
What if the deepest Christian life is found not in activity-but in surrender?
There have been more copies of this book burned than perhaps any other single Christian book ever published.
So powerful was its influence on Europe that within 6 years of its release, this book had been translated into every language in Western Europe. In Naples, Italy, it was said that 20,000 Christians gathered in small groups to practice inward prayer.
For more than three centuries, The Spiritual Guide has stood as one of the most profound and searching works on the inward life with God. Written by seventeenth-century priest Michael Molinos, this classic explores the hidden path of silence, surrender, suffering, and union with Christ.
Rather than focusing on outward religious activity alone, Molinos directs believers inward-to the quiet center where God dwells and speaks.
In these pages, readers will discover:
• A clear vision of inward prayer beyond words and reasoning
• Insight into dryness, suffering, and spiritual testing
• Practical guidance on surrendering the will to God
• A deeper understanding of silence, humility, and obedience
• Encouragement for persevering through darkness and doubt
Molinos teaches that true transformation comes not through effort alone but through resignation, patience, and love. His timeless message continues to challenge and strengthen believers seeking a deeper walk with Christ.
Perfect for readers of Christian classics, contemplative spirituality, and deeper-life devotionals, this enduring work remains one of the most searching explorations of the interior Christian life ever written.

Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. First written in 1675 by Miguel de Molinos, The Spiritual Guide still carries advice and information relevant to the art of interior prayer today. In the seventeenth century it provoked sensational reactions, both of approval and controversy. This is thepresent-day reader's chance to discover a text, whose promotion of an 'interior way to contemplation and the rich treasure of inner peace' induced the praise of notable clerics within Europe, and simultaneously the Inquisition's condemnation. What makes Molinos' teaching so unusual is his appeal to the ordinary layperson and not simply to those in the cloister. A very readable work of traditional mystical teaching, the book distinguishes between the 'exterior' method of worship taught by the church and the 'interior' method Molinos advocates. Molinos writes not only for those at the beginning of their journey towards mystical prayer, but also for those in the higher reaches of contemplation. Trevor Boiling's sympathetic and accurate translation includes an incisive introduction, which provides a historical background to the text, whose ideas brought Molinos inner peace, but also to his own death.
