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.
Michael Molinos came closer to reforming the Catholic church than any other single man in history, yet he ended up sealed in a dungeon, his book condemned. A man so controversial that even until today the Vatican will not release the transcript of his (secret) trial. Now for the first time ever, this book appears in modern English, the first English-language release in over a hundred years.

Paperback. Etat : 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.
