Publisher's Summary
Most people familiar with the 1924 devotional Streams in the Desert know little about the author Lettie Cowman. Overflowing Faith describes how personal heartbreak and a need to fill her thirsty soul led to Lettie penning the devotional.
One hundred years later, with untold millions of copies sold, Streams in the Desert still speaks to weary hearts, particularly those dealing with personal grief and despair.
Biographer Michelle Ule traces how a girl from Iowa grew up to co-found a pioneering mission in Japan which led to 10.2 million gospel tracts left on every Japanese doorstep between 1912-1918.
As the first female president of an international missionary organization, Lettie prompted the final gospel crusade through Eastern Europe before WWII. Using Streams in the Desert as an opening, Lettie Cowman worked tirelessly to share the gospel before the Iron Curtain sealed off believers from the western world for 50 years.
This story of a remarkable woman’s earnest desire to share the gospel provides insight and encouragement for modern Christians facing a hostile, unbelieving society.
