<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A devotional classic, in today's language, that was originally published by Lettie Burd Cowman in 1925.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Streams in the Desert</strong> is a daily devotional that was originally published by Lettie Burd Cowman in 1925. She was co-founder of the Oriental Missionary Society (later known as OMS International, and eventually the One Mission Society), and served as a Christian missionary in China and Japan, from 1901 until 1918, until her husband's declining health motivated them to return to the States.</p><p>When Charles' condition failed to improve, Lettie began writing <em>Streams</em> as a source of comfort, based on the couple's newfound hardship and continued fellowship with the Divine. She never intended for the book to become famous, though many still find a revitalizing connection through <em>Streams</em>, because, "it speaks so clearly to those who have difficulty relating <em>their own sufferings</em> to the noble and eternal purposes of a loving and all-wise God."</p><p>Cowman often said, "I didn't write Streams. God gave me streams." The title of her book comes from the old Testament book of Isaiah, </p><p><em>"The lame will leap like a deer, and those who cannot speak will sing for joy! Springs will gush forth in the wilderness, and streams will water the desert." - Isaiah 35:6</em></p>
