Zondervan Contemporary Classic/Streams in the Desert - eBook

Few books ever attain such a widespread recognition and perennial appeal as Streams in the Desert. Now over seventy years since its first publication, this marvelous devotional by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman has established itself firmly in the ranks of the Christian classics. Written from Mrs. Cowman's rich experiences with life, from its dry wastelands to its well-watered gardens, Streams in the Desert is a legacy of faith and wisdom that is time-tested faithfully to the One who alone can slake their spiritual thirst. In the midst of today's fast-paced world, the wisdom of Streams in the Desert remains refreshing, relevant and trustworthy. Turn to it daily, tune out the clamor of living, and let these prayerful writings inspire fresh hope, confidence, and a deep awareness of God's presence in your life.

This hardcover gift edition has been updated for the modern reader by James Reimann.

Each day God has opened new insights into His word even though I have used this same book for many years. He has uplifted my spirit and comforted me.

I recommend this book for anybody who feels the world closing in. The poems and writing that are attached are written for any type of situtation that one may be going through. I brought one for myself and another for a friend.

Mrs. Cowman's experiences and lessons learned from the hand of God are still true of today. Our experiences are not unique! What a blessing to come across this wonderful little book. Besides the Bible, this book gives much to think and pray about and always points to our hope and healing in Christ.

My mother had given me this book which she had read several times. I started reading it on the 1st day of January....and it dawned on me, after about 3 months....that this book is different than anything I have read. The thoughts captured in this book are so wise and you feel your faith building...and wanting to read ahead. The title itself is so profound to me..."Streams in the Desert"...how uplifting! I recently purchased two copies from Christianbook.com. One I gave a young woman in our church who had been going through extreme physical problems. The 2nd copy is available to whomever God lays on my heart.
