Devotions for Morning and Evening with Mrs. Charles E. Cowman
Along with her husband, Mrs. Charles E. Cowman served as a pioneering missionary in Japan and China from 1901 to 1917, during which time they helped to found the Oriental Missionary Society.  When her husband's poor health forced the couple to return to the United States, Mrs. Cowman turned her attention to caring for him, and nursed him until his death six years later.  Out of these experiences and heartbreak cameStreams in the Desert,one of the bestselling devotionals of all time, selling millions of copies in several languages.  Mrs. Cowman later penned six more tremendously popular devotionals, includingTraveling Toward SunriseandWords of Comfort and Cheer. She died in 1960.
