Daily Streams in the Desert Reviews

by BBB Is Next

I love Streams in the Desert and have a couple of printed copies. I appreciate having a phone copy that is always accessible. The only issues are that it comes up with the previous day’s devotional instead of the current one approximately half the time. Must go to the calendar and then back in order for that day to appear. The other issue is that it suddenly goes back to the beginning of the daily reading when I’m half or 3/4 of the way through it. I then have to scroll down and find the spot where I left off. This is an issue that started a month or two ago. Hopefully it will get fixed soon as it’s pretty frustrating and has made me consider deleting DailyStreamsintheDesert and just going back to my printed copies.

Streams in the desert speaks to my heart daily! It covers a lot of hard truths you would not hear about these days, not even in churches. Some Christians erroneously live under the impression that when things go wrong in their lives, it is because they did something wrong. Streams in the desert instead suggests that these hard times are indeed God's way of building us up. And making us depend on Him. I found this uplifting devotional when I was going through a life crisis, and when everyone around me kept telling me it was my fault. Using this devitional, in addition to prayers and unwavering faith and trust in God, I was able to navigate the situation with a different mindset.
I have recommended the friends and will definitely keep recommending this great book! And having this on the phone, is such a great privilege- makes it easier for me to stick to the routine.

Streams of the Desert I believe has many Divinely inspired passages. People who were intimate and open to God and heard Him being led to write these words to encourage and help us!
It is such an easy tool and format to use. I can bookmark my favorite ones to look back at later which I love. I have the hard book as well but when you can’t bring that with you no reason or excuse we can’t find hope and turn to God in the midst of a busy day with this tool on our phone. Even 5-10 min or waiting in traffic. Be blessed!

This devotional book has kept me through many trials and disappointments over the years. I recommend this heart and soul felt book to anyone because it’s like a lifeline to God when things aren’t going well. Always confirms what you’re going through at the time. So powerful and well written because it’s coming from the soul. God bless her soul the beautiful woman who wrote it. It’s very encouraging, I love it❤️

My Grandmother was faithful in daily studying God ‘s word and she also read from Streams in the Desert . When I was with her she read to me. About 15 years ago I came across a daily journal of Streams and I bought it in memory of my Gram I have continued her morning devotional and am so blessed and comforted by the messages it contains . I will be 74 in a few days and today I am celebrating 50 years of marriage to a man who loves and serves the Lord . I am blessed and God is so good !

I have been reading Streams in the Desert for over 10 years...ever since I found a 1925 printing of this beautiful, sweet and powerful devotional. God has brought me so much wisdom, healing, joy, conviction and blessing through this amazing book. When I found DailyStreamsintheDesert, I praised God (and still do every single day). To be able to have this devotional & daily wherever I go and the reminder that we are ALL on this journey together, was a HUGE blessing. I am able to share it with so many more people and have seen the power of God work through these devotions and touch and transform the lives of others. God IS SO good to us!!!!✝️😇♥️ Thanks to the developers of this application of a most precious book.

I bought streams in the desert 20 years ago in book form. I loved it then but haven’t been reading it for quite a while until I found DailyStreamsintheDesert. The devotionals are timeless, sometimes difficult to read sometimes encouraging but always telling the truth with love, straight from the Bible. The morning and evening prayers are beautifully written and a joy to read. Thank you for making DailyStreamsintheDesert available.

I have been reading Streams in the Desert for many years. It’s theme is healthy food for myself. Recently, I have begun to meditate on the daily prayer DailyStreamsintheDesert provides. It has been such a rich blessing to me, helping me to focus on the importance of my great need for Jesus. It guides my thoughts and words, helping me to pray to the only One who can truly help me. As I meditate on the prayer, the Holy Spirit enables me to apply the words to my own life and to genuinely praise and worship God. Thank you.,and thank God for this worthy treasure.

In 2005 my husband passed away and a friend gave me this devotional. It was a life saver and changer. Recently a young lady that has a life threatening form of cancer asked me where I got the devotions I was sending her, so I re-gifted her my Streams devotional. I missed it so much and then I found you on line! Imagine my joy!!!! It is inspirational, I read it daily along with the Bible. Thank you for my finances are .....minimal and to buy the book, and I will....will take a little time. Yay for all who have been blessed by your website, and may you be blessed as well.

I’m grateful for DailyStreamsintheDesert because my hard copy is over 50 years old and starting to fall apart. You see, it’s been well-read over all those years.
My great-grandmother read it, then passed it to her daughter. She read it and then she gave it to her daughter-in-law (my mom). My mom read it and then she gave it to me. It may have some old-fashioned language, but the life lessons woven together with stories and scripture have been a powerful message to me. The poems and quotes are also very meaningful.
And then I think about my great-grandmother...what trial was she facing?
I am grateful she passed this book on.
After mom passed away, I thought it would be fitting to share an excerpt at her memorial service. After the service, I had 3 of my relatives come and ask about the devotional book. I passed it on to them.
Just like what it represents, the faithfulness of God and the good news of the Gospel...let’s pass it on!

Have so many Spanish friends that would be so blessed by this! Thank you again!

by Living Momently

First thing in the morning my mind can be very busy and it is hard for me to focus on what I want to focus on which is time with God. I love this devotional because it gives me the words I need to center my thoughts on the Blessed Holy Trinity! A friend of mine gave me the book, “Streams in the Desert” many years ago and I have loved it and now DailyStreamsintheDesert is even more enriching with the beautiful prayers that you are given for morning and night! Thank you for all who helped create DailyStreamsintheDesert it is such a gift in so many ways! God bless you!

by Klscribe

I have loved ‘Streams’ for many years, first in paperback, then as an app. I love your new look and upgrades, but most of all, I love your morning and evening prayers. I don’t think I can adequately convey to you the fullness of my appreciation for these prayers. They have such depth and scope and are frequently what I myself have prayed, but less eloquently than these. They show maturity and a rich intimacy with the Word. They touch my heart profoundly. It is these prayers which has finally caused me to carve out an evening prayer and devotion time just before bed. Thank you. From my heart. In Christ....

by Kay, A Devoted Reader

I received Streams in the Desert as a gift in 1976 and have read it almost every day since. The amazing thing is that it still speaks fresh, new thoughts to my heart, and I continue to learn and grow in my faith. I have given this book to many people over the years so that they too can be blessed. I like the original version best because sometimes the modern translations water down the original content, and the depth of the meaning is lost.
I’m so grateful to have DailyStreamsintheDesert in the original version. I can have access to it all day and can readily share it with others. Thank you!

Streams is such a daily encouragement! A friend bought me my first paperback several years ago. I loved it, and after I had used it a couple of years, the Lord prompted me to give my copy away to a troubled you woman who was facing demons in her life. I brought another copy of the daily devotional calendar for myself last year, and the Lord called me to give it to an sweet elderly lady who we deliver Meals on Wheels to. She absolutely loves it and is encouraged daily. I haven’t bought another physical book yet, but using DailyStreamsintheDesert on the go while caring for my ailing mother in law. It’s great to have DailyStreamsintheDesert wherever I go. It truly is a stream in the desert.

Daily Streams, while not pretending to be a deep study of large passages of scripture, certainly plays a vital role in keeping The Word close and very personal. In the way of our not needing to eat three large meals a day in order to provide adequate physical nourishment, hardly a day goes by without this Christian classic giving me a comforting bite of daily bread which keeps me going and comforted until such time as I can sit down for a longer, richer “meal.” It has sustained Christians for decades, and has made the transition of the years seamlessly. I find it a terrific way to begin or end a day, and it always seems to fit my circumstances. Indispensable!

by Choclick Drop

I find Streams in the Desert to be my mainstay devotional . I have wore the pages out as the book was Gifted to me 9 years ago to support me through my cancer battle. I read and reread it nightly and in the a.m. daily! I have gifted this great and soothing and inspirational book to family and friends. It is a constant in my journey with God. Everyday I find new meaning in this devotional after years of reading; just as my thirst for the Bible Is to find the perfect chapters and passages for song, encouragement and insight and growth and inspiration.
God is great. Jesus is my Savior. My heart feels the Spirit and God’s presence. Where would we be without Him?
Yes, this book is 10 stars!

by Val Your Pal

This resource is such a blessing as it provides a daily boost of truth and a reminder of how to walk in the deserts and valleys. We are not alone. And I love the morning and evening prayers. I just started reading and praying those recently -thinking I didn’t really need to pray a prayer someone else wrote. But they help take the focus off of me and my needs while also allowing for that too. This is the best devotional for the hurting soul. I have been reading the hardbound book since 1995 but having it in an app - and now with the prayers - is such a blessing that I can read it anywhere.

The devotionals offer a refreshing perspective on daily living and our future hope as Christians. I appreciate the text-to-speech feature though it is a little wooden sounding at times. I think a natural voice would be better but this would probably result in being charged a fee for DailyStreamsintheDesert . The artificial voice does force me to pay more attention to the devotion of the day, and often prompts me to actually read the devotional for myself rather than merely listen to it. Reading the devotional aids in my understanding of it anyway so it’s not a negative at all. Thank you for developing DailyStreamsintheDesert and making it free! I am very much encouraged by it.

by FW 24/7

It’s a daily refresh of God’s Word plus a short encouraging word to start the day. Thank you!

The only thing I really don’t like are the outside ads (especially since they don’t always align with Christian teaching — so I assume they don’t have control over the ads served) . I believe the ads can be removed entirely through support of DailyStreamsintheDesert . Candidly, I would normally take one star off my rating for this, except the rest of DailyStreamsintheDesert /content is so good (and free to all!), I will choose to leave my rating at 5-stars.

by Just Right

This is a very special devotional book, it speaks right to the heart of the person when he or she reads it. Whatever situation one maybe facing at that time it answers just in the nick of time. Whenever I read it in the mornings I find how it refreshes my soul. I have been reading this book for many, many years and I highly recommend it to the whole wide world to read, that’s the reason why I give it a score of 5. If it was possible I would have given it a higher score, God Bless.

by Timpastato57

I look forward daily to reading and meditating on the study from “Streams in the Desert” devotions. As a child I recall my mother reading and gleaning from her old blue hardcover book. The timeless teachings contained therein are rich with wisdom for all seasons. Today It’s so convenient having it as an mobile app at your fingertips🙏🌹🙏 Read it daily and watchGod use it to transformed your heart and life.

by Georgean Maddy

I have been blessed by the Streams in The Desert since 1972. My book copy is worn out and held together with a rubber band.
I treasure every day now that I can enjoy it in my cell phone. My book full of notes is secure on my bookshelf. I do open it from time to time to refresh my memories of God’s grace and mercy in my life over the years. Thank you for your continued work to keep it relevant and alive!
Blessings, Georgean Maddy

Streams speaks directly to every issue of concern I have on a daily basis. It is amazing how dynamic it is. Streams uses devotions from the great Christian scholars that devoted their entire lives to learning the meanings of Gods word. They were driven by the Holy Spirit to study and interpret God’s holy and just word so that others can grow in knowledge, worship, success, understanding, relationships, etc. God loves everyone greatly & He cares about every tiny part of your life.

by Glows8

This is one of my favorite devotionals! It's such an encouragement to me that I read it daily. I love that I'm able to set a reminder to read it everyday even though I don't need it. It's has many contributions from different people who have experienced deep trials that we can learn from. I'm a young mother having a hard time but through this devotional my Lord greatly encourages me to see the good in all He does.

by Patty4450

This is a holy spirit filled devotional book. It’s unbelievable the times that God speaks to me and or my situation that day even if I’m on the “wrong” day! There are days that it is so on target it’s unbelievable! It’s like God stepped into time and wrote it just for me that day! This has been my favorite devotional book for many, many years. I haven’t given away countless copies because it has meant so much to me.
