About the Author

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. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars atreams in the desert: hope for hurting hearts, January 24, 2008
This review is from: Streams in the Desert®: Hope for Hurting Hearts (Hardcover)
I was given the book "Streams in the Desert" 2 years ago. Found this one on Amazon "Streams in the Desert: Hope for the Hurting Heart" and am glad I did. The first book was really good but the last one is even better for someone going through a painful and difficult time in their life. I cannot express in words how comforting it has been to me. It doesn't matter where your pain may be coming from I believe this book can and will speak words of comfort and healing to you as well. It also makes a wonderful gift for others who are hurting.
