Streams in the Desert Devo

Streams in the Desert is back on the App Store, rebuilt from the ground up. For a hundred years this book has been handed to people in the hardest stretch of their lives. Mrs. Charles E. Cowman gathered it out of her own — six years nursing her husband through the illness that killed him — and what she assembled is not a book about suffering in general. It is a book for the person who is still in it. ASK IN YOUR OWN WORDS Say what is actually going on — "I feel like giving up." "I feel nothing when I pray." "Someone I love has died." The app reads what you mean rather than matching your words, and shows you the readings that speak to it. TODAY Open to today's reading, and step back or forward through any day of the year. BROWSE THE WHOLE BOOK Two ways in. By what you are going through — waiting, praying with no answer yet, worn out in service, shut in with no way out. Or by what the book is saying — standing on a promise, being still and letting God work, God near in the dark. THE KING JAMES BIBLE, INCLUDED AND OFFLINE Tap any verse a reading quotes to read it where you are, or open the whole chapter around it. All 66 books are on the device. KEEP WHAT MATTERS Star a reading, highlight a sentence. What you keep syncs privately through your own iCloud account to your other devices. THE BOOK AS IT WAS PRINTED This is the 1925 text, taken from the 1947 printing — the original wording. Cowman assembled it from many writers, and where the book names the one it is quoting, that name is part of the text and is shown with it. MADE FOR READING The book's own words are set in a serif and the app's never are, so you can always tell at a glance which is which. Every screen works at every Dynamic Type size, from small to the largest accessibility settings. FREE, AND THE FULL VERSION The free version opens thirteen days of readings and answers three questions, along with the whole Bible, saving and highlighting. One purchase — once, not a subscription — opens all 366 readings, every day of the year, browsing by subject, and as many questions as you want to ask. Lettie Burd Cowman (1870–1960), who published as Mrs. Charles E. Cowman, spent sixteen years as a missionary in Japan and compiled this book in the years after her husband's death. It has been in print since 1925. Privacy Policy: https://www.43rdelement.com/streams/legal/privacy-policy.html
