one of my all time favorite devotional books

The best devotional。 I have used it for many years and also gifted it to friends。

Excellent Devotional for the wearyThis devotional helps put our struggles into perspective and gives us strength to persevere because we believe and accept God’s purposes for our trials。 I learned that through our hardships， God is training us to be spiritual soldiers， able to endure increasing levels of uncertainty and stress。 This can only happen by the renewing of our minds， which this devotional has helped me to do through the insights and teaching of Scripture。 It is my favourite devotional Excellent Devotional for the wearyThis devotional helps put our struggles into perspective and gives us strength to persevere because we believe and accept God’s purposes for our trials。 I learned that through our hardships， God is training us to be spiritual soldiers， able to endure increasing levels of uncertainty and stress。 This can only happen by the renewing of our minds， which this devotional has helped me to do through the insights and teaching of Scripture。 It is my favourite devotional book for this reason！ 。。。more

The poetry in this book is incredible。

This is the second time I’ve read this devotional， the first during university and the second this past year。 Both times I read it during a year of difficulty and it has been a blessing both times， each finding different devotional days that spoke to me strongly。 While some of the language may be a bit dated， I would definitely recommend this devotional to anyone going through a period in the valley。

Amazing Daily DevotionalI’ve read many devotionals over the years， but Streams is the one I want to read over and over。 It is amazing how it speaks directly to my needs。 I’ve shared it with a number of people， and they are now sharing it with others。 It continues to meet each of our needs。

An excellent help in the time of trouble。

Great， classic devotional。 I recommend picking it up when you're in a desert season and reading through it until the season ends。 I read straight through it over the course of a year， and while most devotionals were great， it felt a bit repetitive and even depressing at times when I was in a non-desert season。 Great， classic devotional。 I recommend picking it up when you're in a desert season and reading through it until the season ends。 I read straight through it over the course of a year， and while most devotionals were great， it felt a bit repetitive and even depressing at times when I was in a non-desert season。 。。。more

This is a devotional that you read a portion of everyday throughout the year。 It was on my mothers bookshelf when I was growing up。 Now I am reading the updated version and really am so blessed by it。 It readings have been so relevant during a very difficult time in my life， and continue to be so。I can't recommend this enough。 This is a devotional that you read a portion of everyday throughout the year。 It was on my mothers bookshelf when I was growing up。 Now I am reading the updated version and really am so blessed by it。 It readings have been so relevant during a very difficult time in my life， and continue to be so。I can't recommend this enough。 。。。more

Great yearly devotional。 Easy to read with many， many quotes from well known Christians of old like A。 B。 Simpson， Hannah Whitehall Smith， Spurgeon， F。 B。 Meyer， George MacDonald。

Fair gave me her copy。 It has a note in it from her speech teacher， Annie Lee Armstrong， who gave it to her in 1982。

Best devotional book I've ever read in my entire life！！ My grandma gave this to us as a gift， never really grabbed my interest at first。 But when I moved to a different city and a new house and pandemic struck a few days after （yes， I still had no internet， no furniture， no TV， just a tab and my phone and some books including this for entertainment）， this was the only thing that gave me hope and had me crying all the time and got me closer to God and built my faith。That pandemic time and alone t Best devotional book I've ever read in my entire life！！ My grandma gave this to us as a gift， never really grabbed my interest at first。 But when I moved to a different city and a new house and pandemic struck a few days after （yes， I still had no internet， no furniture， no TV， just a tab and my phone and some books including this for entertainment）， this was the only thing that gave me hope and had me crying all the time and got me closer to God and built my faith。That pandemic time and alone time became my enlightenment and spiritual retreat for 2 years of pandemic。 This has changed my life dramatically in a way that I will be carrying and treasure for the rest of my life。**Plus， I enjoyed the music tracks it came with！ Which are also available on YouTube！ Just search Streams in the Desert。 。。。more

I read this book when my father died in 1995。 I found it of great comfort at that time。 When my husband died last year， I decided to read the daily devotional again。 I had forgotten how Cowman used old writings and poetry as the foundations for her entries。 Some of these were comforting， but I found many to be just readings。

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book; I only selected it after doing a search for books about water， since my word of the year for 2022 is water。 It ended up being a lovely， refreshing book of Christian daily devotionals。 The depth and accessibility of this classic （published in the 1920's and widely known in many denominations） surprised and delighted me。 The book was long， but I voraciously enjoyed the 988 pages in about a week。I marked up my eBook copy--sometimes full pages at a time。 I wasn't sure what to expect with this book; I only selected it after doing a search for books about water， since my word of the year for 2022 is water。 It ended up being a lovely， refreshing book of Christian daily devotionals。 The depth and accessibility of this classic （published in the 1920's and widely known in many denominations） surprised and delighted me。 The book was long， but I voraciously enjoyed the 988 pages in about a week。I marked up my eBook copy--sometimes full pages at a time。 Ms。 Cowman shared her own thoughts， coupled with beautiful poetry and quotes from other notable Christians。 The poetry was my favorite， and it made me realize what a lost art rhyming， metered verse is becoming （something near and dear to my heart）。 Following is just a small sample of the material that stood out to me in my reading:"If the Lord careth for thee， be thyself at rest" （Archbishop Leighton）"What is your season today？ Are you experiencing a drought？ Are you going through a season of great heaviness with dark clouds？ Then this is the season for great showers。 Your strength will equal your days， for He has said， 'I will send showers of blessings。' If He can send saving grace， then He can also send comforting grace。 Look up today， you who are dried and withered plant。 Open your leaves and flowers and receive God's heavenly watering。 The fruitful life seeks rain as well as sunshine。""When God wants to make a person， He puts him into some storm。 The history of humankind has always been rough and rugged。 No one is complete until he had been out into the surge of the storm and has found the glorious fulfillment of the prayer， 'O God， take me， break me， make me，'" "One lonely soul on fire with the love of God may set the whole universe ablaze。""Produce your cause。 Bring forth your strong reasons。""Either He will shield you from suffering or He will give you His unwavering strength that you may bear it。""Clouds pass; stars remain。""Your Heavenly Father knows。" （Matthew 6:32）"Pray your situation through until you get light。""Quietness and stillness bring the dew。 At night when the leaves and grass are still， the plants' pores are open to receive the refreshing and invigorating bath。 And spiritual dew comes from quietly lingering in the Master's presence。 Get still before Him， for haste will prevent you from receiving the dew。 Wait before God until you feel saturated with His presence。 Then move on to your next duty with the awareness of the freshness and energy of Christ。""When you see a spiritual giant， think of the road over which he has traveled--not the sunny lane where wildflowers ever bloom， but a steep， rocky， narrow pathway where the blasts of hell will almost blow you off your feet， where the sharp rocks cut the feet， where the projecting thorns scratch the brow， and where the venomous serpents hiss on every side。""If they had come down to the riverbank and then stopped， waiting for the water to divide before stepping into it， they would have waited in vain。 They were told to set foot in Jordan before its waters will be cut off。 We must learn to take God at His word and walk straight ahead in obedience， even when we can see no way to go forward。" 。。。more

After trying to slog through this for literal years， I just can’t with them prosperity gospel nonsense anymore。

Dennis Thurman ，

One of the best devotionals。 It is so encouraging！ If you are struggling， enduring a trial， dealing with sorrow—and trial in life grace will be a balm to your soul as it flows from these pages。

This was so absolutely wonderful and refreshing。 I would get excited for the day's entry every morning， and feel peaceful afterward。 I will definitely be reading this again in some future years。 This was so absolutely wonderful and refreshing。 I would get excited for the day's entry every morning， and feel peaceful afterward。 I will definitely be reading this again in some future years。 。。。more

I found too many of the daily devotionals to be trite or artificial。 I don’t think I do well with the “smile through the pain” messages。

Great devotional love reading this devotional every morning。 it has a vast amount of spiritual wealth。 I definitely recommend this book to all。

I started this book 1/1/21， and read each of the daily devotions， finishing 12/31/21。 Many delt with old age， sorrow， and isolation。 A few I found relevant， but I think I'll just pass this book along。 I started this book 1/1/21， and read each of the daily devotions， finishing 12/31/21。 Many delt with old age， sorrow， and isolation。 A few I found relevant， but I think I'll just pass this book along。 。。。more
