About this audiobook
Spiritual Progress is a collection of five theological works by closely connected French philosophers of the seventeenth century. These essays exude mysticism and they are intended for prayers with the emphasis on the closeness and intimacy with God. François Fénelon was a Catholic archbishop, theologian, poet and writer. Madame Guyon was a French Christian accused of advocating Quietism, and victimized for her ideas of mysticism, but was later celebrated. Père Lacombe was a Catholic monk and Madame Guyon's guide and mentor in spiritual matters.
