Overview

Streams in the Desert is a beautiful, heart-felt devotional with 366 daily readings of prayerful meditations. L. B. Cowman, a missionary to Japan and China, has filled this enduring classic with insight into the richness of God’s provision and the purpose of His plan. Inspired by her experience as a missionary with her husband and as his caretaker when his poor health impaired him, this devotional will be of particular significance to those facing physical and/or spiritual suffering and trials. Through prose and poetry, Cowman reveals the trials, disappointments and detours she and her husband confronted as they served the Lord, making Streams in the Desert both firmly rooted in Scripture and personal experience.

In the midst of today's fast-paced world, the wisdom of Streams in the Desert remains refreshing, relevant and trustworthy.
