    L. B. E. Cowman

    L. B. 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 (now called One Mission Society, OMS). 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.

    • 3/5
      This devotional classic presents thoughts penned by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman or selected from other Christian writers (who are given minimal attribution--generally just a name or initials). Most days begin with a brief Scripture or Scripture excerpt, then have some written prose thoughts, and finally a poem. Many of the thoughts still resonate with readers. By today's standards, the citations to other works are incomplete and inadequate. The poetry seems a little trite and probably a little too focused on rhyme for today's audience. I'm certain the work will continue to provide daily thoughts to another generation of readers, but I hope someone takes the time to update it to include fuller citations and perhaps to replace some of the monotonous poetry with poetry that will speak to future generations.
    • 5/5
      A book to restore and rejuvenate the soul
    • 4/5
      Wonderful volume of daily meditations, connecting man to God.
    • 5/5
      I have never had a daily devotional that I have been able to stick with throughout the year, until this one. This is a good devotional for those more trying days.
    • 5/5
      For Christians who are experiencing trials and difficulties in their lives I highly recommend this devotional. As you struggle to understand God dealings with you, this book can help provide great insights and comfort that goes with them.
    • 5/5
      This is a wonderful devotional, and I love the author's incorporation of songs and poetry. She often speaks as though she's sitting right there with you, and her writing is so reassuring and hopeful.
