The Fountain is one of the best I have used so far. The magazine definitely offers diverse perspectives and does so in a way that it is non-judgmental, and brings in the latest in scholastic literature. The Fountain has been an important part of my own personal spiritual journey. The human qualities that The Fountain espouses certainly opened up to me and to others I shared the articles with a sense of our commonness as well as our differences -- and this certainly is tremendously useful. There is no effort to sell one or another, but to be very honest about where various scriptures come from whether it be the Qur'an, or Gospel, or Jewish literature. Interestingly, I tend not to skip magazines lying around because we pile them up everywhere, but The Fountain is definitely one that we hold on to."
