Streams in the desert speaks to my heart daily! It covers a lot of hard truths you would not hear about these days, not even in churches. Some Christians erroneously live under the impression that when things go wrong in their lives, it is because they did something wrong. Streams in the desert instead suggests that these hard times are indeed God's way of building us up. And making us depend on Him. I found this uplifting devotional when I was going through a life crisis, and when everyone around me kept telling me it was my fault. Using this devitional, in addition to prayers and unwavering faith and trust in God, I was able to navigate the situation with a different mindset. I have recommended the friends and will definitely keep recommending this great book! And having this on the phone, is such a great privilege- makes it easier for me to stick to the routine.

I have been reading the Streams in the Desert devotional for at least 18 years now. The appreciation I have for this book is beyond expression. I first received it in book form and that book is now weathered and worn— it even split in two at one point and I had to tape the binding, which is still holding it together. It is full of underlining, notes, and tears. The LORD has used this devotional to speak into my life circumstances again and again and again. I am so grateful for L. B. Cowman and this treasure that she collected and put together during periods of great suffering in her own life. This book is full of the “treasures of darkness” that God graciously gifts to His children in times of trial and suffering, and I highly recommend it for any of God’s children who desire to understand that “suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope” (Romans 5:3-4).

This wonderful devotion has inspired me and brought me closer to God from the first passage I read in it.My mother passed away and I was looking for a beautiful poem to add to her memorial bulletin. I felt inspired to look on her Birthday date on this book, "Streams In The Desert", which was lying on her counter. God led me to the perfect poem on her Birthday January 17th. I really enjoy the writing of the author, and the scriptures, stories, and poems he has included in this book. It has been an awesome experience to enjoy this devotional book on an App. Which includes background acoustic music, prayers, beautiful nature scenes, and a quote for the day. This is my go to almost every morning! I hope you enjoy it as I have!!! God bless you and your loved ones. ❤️🌅🙏🏼

I have been reading Streams in the Desert for over 10 years...ever since I found a 1925 printing of this beautiful, sweet and powerful devotional. God has brought me so much wisdom, healing, joy, conviction and blessing through this amazing book. When I found this app, I praised God (and still do every single day). To be able to have this devotional & daily wherever I go and the reminder that we are ALL on this journey together, was a HUGE blessing. I am able to share it with so many more people and have seen the power of God work through these devotions and touch and transform the lives of others. God IS SO good to us!!!!✝️😇♥️ Thanks to the developers of this application of a most precious book.
