Lettie Burd CowmanRezensionen

This a dailty devotional book from January to December written by pionee missionary with her huband to Japand and China from 1901 to 1917.

Not as timely as Jesus Calling (maybe it was the year I read it), but this daily devotional provided very substantial food for thought. I added many notes in the margin for future reference.

This devotional classic presents thoughts penned by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman or selected from other Christian writers (who are given minimal attribution--generally just a name or initials). Most days begin with a brief Scripture or Scripture excerpt, then have some written prose thoughts, and finally a poem. Many of the thoughts still resonate with readers. By today's standards, the citations to other works are incomplete and inadequate. The poetry seems a little trite and probably a little too focused on rhyme for today's audience. I'm certain the work will continue to provide daily thoughts to another generation of readers, but I hope someone takes the time to update it to include fuller citations and perhaps to replace some of the monotonous poetry with poetry that will speak to future generations.

Reading one entry a day for a year, I won't actually finish this book for a while yet; but, having been reading for about 6 weeks now, I can say that this is a real classic. What a delightful book of thoughts, spiritual encouragements, and lyrical insights. Mrs. Cowman managed to fill the pages with small capsules full to the brim with golden nuggets. I will re-read this one again and again. I picked this old copy up at a rummage sale for a quarter. What a find! A real treasure.

A book to restore and rejuvenate the soul

Wonderful volume of daily meditations, connecting man to God.

本書內容大部分採自美國考門夫人所編。但本書乃是節取原著中之菁華，因此有些是節譯，有協則刪減，使之簡短有力、字字珠璣，當中也另有增補進國內聖徒的著作。

I have never had a daily devotional that I have been able to stick with throughout the year, until this one. This is a good devotional for those more trying days.

For Christians who are experiencing trials and difficulties in their lives I highly recommend this devotional. As you struggle to understand God dealings with you, this book can help provide great insights and comfort that goes with them.

This is a wonderful devotional, and I love the author's incorporation of songs and poetry. She often speaks as though she's sitting right there with you, and her writing is so reassuring and hopeful.

Absolutely wonderful! If I was stuck on a desert island I would want the Bible and this book.

Out of Mrs. Cowman's experiences and heartbreak came her first book, Streams in the Desert, followed by its companion Springs in the Valley.
