About this title

Synopsis

For years these classic devotional writings have sustained and replenished Christians with God's promises as they travel through desert times. This updated edition in today's language provides daily Scripture passages from the popular, readable New International Version. The original inspirational thoughts are expressed in easy-to-understand language that captures the timeless essence of the original devotional and offers comfort and refreshment to a new generation of believers. Author Mrs. Charles E. Cowman worked as a pioneer missionary with her husband in Japan and China from 1901 to 1917, during which time they helped found the Oriental Missionary Society. When Mr. Cowman's poor health forced the couple to return to the United States, Mrs. Cowman turned her attention to caring for her husband until his death six years later. Out of Mrs. Cowman's experiences and heartbreak came her first book, Streams in the Desert, followed by its companion Springs in the Valley. During the next twenty-five years, Mrs. Cowman inspired several nationwide Scripture distribution campaigns and wrote seven more books. Finally, on Easter Sunday in 1960, at the age of ninety, Mrs. Cowman met face-to-face the God she had served so faithfully for nearly a century.
