The Golden Fountain or, The Soul's Love for God. Being some Thoughts and Confessions of One of His Lovers

"The Golden Fountain" by Lilian Staveley is a journey into the heart of faith, chronicling one soul's ardent quest for a profound connection with God. This early 20th-century reflection emphasizes love, repentance, and faith’s power to change lives. Readers are beckoned towards an intimate relationship with the divine, beyond mere knowledge, and into an experience of love and desire. The story begins with the idea of a seemingly unbreakable wall between humanity and God, driving a search for something more profound than simple faith. A genuine life, free from falseness and filled with longing for Christ, is depicted as the only way to bridge this gap. The narrative encourages putting aside endless arguments and personal goals, embracing a passionate bond with Jesus, the personification of divine love. Through intimate confessions, Staveley shares her own transformation and the experiences of conversion and love that guided her toward understanding God's reality.
