A Christian Woman's Secret

Most of us, seeing a respectable lady shopping in London’s Bond Street, searching, let us say, for a sensible pair of new shoes, are hardly likely to suspect that we are looking at a God-intoxicated woman, comparable in her inner nature to a St. Francis of Assisi. So it was with the little-known Protestant Lilian Staveley, one of the most remarkable Christians of recent times. The present volume is an edited compilation of Staveley’s three published books: The Prodigal Returns, The Romance of the Soul, and The Golden Fountain. Staveley speaks to ordinary men and women of the world, teaching us to combine an inner and hidden dialog with Jesus Christ, along with an outward life of everyday duties and intercourse with fellow-beings.
