Streams in the Desert: 366 Daily Devotional Readings by L. B. E. Cowman, Jim Reimann
2.0
This book has many reviews with 5 stars in Goodreads. I'm picking it up, however, because it's one of my "100 Christian Books that Changed the Century", not because I'm looking for a daily devotional.
I started off thinking I might use this as a daily devotional and see if it's something I can personally work with, but it's not. I read November 14th, and then flicked through some earlier ones. Then this morning I read November 15th and likewise flicked through some other dates. They are all words of comfort, which I'm sure are wonderful for a good many people, but I'm not in need of comfort. That's not to say that life doesn't still throw me some curlers, and I'd be the last to say that life is wonderful all the time, and I become deeply distressed when I see/hear about/read of atrocities in this world, but I guess I've found the way to survive in it. Acceptance and Compassion.
