Summary: "AWESOME BOOK FOR ANYONE AT ANY TIME!!! (Exerpts included)"
The Bible is my #1 book. Created To Be His Helpmeet is my #2 book (if you are going to get married or in a marriage and need a little "help".) And Mrs. Cowman's Streams in the Desert is my #3 book in the world. I am 42 and I LOVE to read!!! (But I love the Lord more, so it's gotta be Godly!!!) I've read hundreds and hundreds of books, if not thousands (Grace Livingston Hill is my fav. "fun" author.) and this book has been a MAJOR BLESSING to me!!! (A "paradigm-shifter", if you will!) This hardback version is not the type of devotional that provide lines to write your own stuff in, but you just read it, one per day if you like, but I read sporadically, like every other day on average, but I'll read 2 or 3 or 4 per day. Mrs. Cowman has given me SOOO MANY golden nuggets to live my life in a Godly manner! Like for instance "Many people...are forever worrying about difficulties they forsee in the future. They expect that God is going to make the way plain and open before them, miles and miles ahead; whereas He has promised to do it only step by step as they may need." (p. 14) Or this: "When the suffering soul reaches a calm, sweet carelessness, when it can inwardly smile at its own suffering, and does not even ask God to deliver it from suffering, then it has wrought its blessed ministry....oh the blessedness of being absolutely conquered! Of losing our own strength and wisdom, and plans, and desires, and being where every atom of our nature is like placid Galilee under the omnipotent feet of our [Lord] Jesus." (p. 271) If you liked that, you'll like this book. And after reading the first 250 p. of this book, I have come to the point where I agree!!! I have given 6 away so far, and the Lord has put it on my heart to make it sort of a ministry and to give it to more people. God bless you! D in CO

Summary: "The Best Devotional Ever Written"
I too, like other reviewers was introduced to this book by Robin Roberts of Good Morning America. I have read this book since 2007 and each year there is always a new lesson learned. I love the fact that this book pulls excerpts from Christian Giants of the past and "morphs" them into modern day teachings. This book is extremely needed, extremely uplifting, and makes you as the reader feel beloved by Christ.

Summary: "streams in the desert"
this is a wonderful devotional book that introduces you to many of the writers and preachers of the past. the book is filled with short excerpts from the old masters thoughts and insights with scripture readings to go along with them. it is especially good for anyone going through a tough trial or tribulation because it shows how God specifically uses these situations for spiritual growth. i would highly recommend it.
