Streams in the Desert - book review


Streams in the DesertStreams in the Desert by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Streams in the Desert is encouraging devotional reading compiled from a wide variety of sources by Mrs. Cowman. The readings range from anecdotal to prayer, all chosen to supply living water to thirsty souls.

Perhaps it is in some ways dated and not all the sentiments expressed reflect the views of generations who have a longer historical perspective on past events, but it's still a treasury of faith and comfort.

I particularly like the peek into the lives of believers who went before us, their struggles, victories and testimonies of courage and how God led and strengthened them.

We've had this book and its sequels in our home for decades. My mother and grandmother read this. My husband and I have been enriched by it.

Dive in! The water's fine.
