Summary: A must for anyone who has suffered
Review: For anyone who has experienced suffering and wondered where God has been through it, this book is a must. It reminds us that we are not guaranteed an easy life and doesn't give trite answers. It gives substantive analogies with scriptural support.

Summary: Streams in the Desert
Review: I first read this book in devotional form during a time when I had fewer answers than questions. It opened my eyes to scriptural truths that are so obvious, and yet, at times, so hard to see. Now, years later, I am quite looking foward to including journal writings to enhance the fulfillment this book brings.

Summary: A Wonderful Inspirational Treasure
Review: I gave the first one I owned to someone else that needed it more and missed it so much that I ordered another copy for myself. I'm getting ready to order another one for someone else. It is a great daily devotional and Mr. Reiman did an exceptional editing job to make it even more understandable and relative today. I have the devotional with me everyday so I can refer to it during work hours and it is read everyday along with the Bible and other devotional and prayer items. So many times it has uplifted me and I can't imagine a day without referring to it.All of these writings were meticulously sorted for the daily compatible content and the daily paragraphs and poems were collated with much thought and inspiration. I am sure that they are as much a comfort to me as they were to Mrs.Cowman and each time I read this devotional,I feel like I am sharing it with her.

Summary: A concise, brilliant work of encouraging words of faith.
Review: I have a copy of the 1925 edition of "Streams in the Desert". The layout of putting a Bible verse first and then either a story or encouraging words that are related to the verse is excellent. I have found much comfort in the words written in this little book. Though it is not written in the language of the 90s, it lends a certain elegance that comes only from the use of old English and prose. What a magnificent work of exhortation, encouragement and quaint examples of what the follower of Christ should pursue!

Summary: Listening to God via devotions
Review: I have been reading Streams in the Desert since 1967. I started Journaling in it long before journaling was popular. It sure did help me have a beautiful picture of God's working in my life by being able to read through the past years and see how He would turn everything out for my good, even the most horrible experiences, turned out to be for my good and a closer walk with him. So glad the Streams in the Desert journal is in print. It is a great concept. I give it away to all those near and dear to me.

Summary: A Timeless Read
Review: I have been reading the paperback devotional and I enjoy it greatly. It is non-judmental and very loving. My fave devotional! I noticed that my mother was using her copy of this devotional to write little prayer requests and thoughts in the margins. This prompted me to buy her the journal version of the devotional which gives her much more space to write and includes the same powerful devotionals. It was a great gift! Another great idea is the "Devotions for Morning and Evening With Mrs. Charles E. Cowman : The Complete Daily Devotions of Streams in the Desert and Springs in the Valley". Even though it is a little harder to find, my mother claims that the evening devotionals which are taken from Cowman's "Springs in the Valley"
are just as moving as the Morning devotionals (taken from "Springs in the Desert"), if not more so.

Summary: A daily treasury of great thoughts
Review: I have used the daily passages of this book for a number of years and it is part of my daily Bible reading. There are some great thoughts of inspired persons like Mueller, Flint and Spurgeon and many quotes of Christians long gone that are still helpful in these days. The book was written in a different time and era but I find it quite interesting in its great wisdom. I would recomend this book to one who is searching for the Truth.
