Streams in the Desert, KJV


Mrs. Charles E. Cowman - 1904
    Lettie Cowman (who published under the name: Mrs. Charles E. Cowman) worked alongside her husband as missionary in Japan. In the years leading up to the death of her husband in 1924, the Lord gave her the “streams in her desert”. Its strength lies in its nature: it is a compilation of the devotional insights from some of the most spiritual people of the last 400 years. This feature makes the book both timeless and up-to-date, both challenging and comforting, both inspiring and convicting. In one word, by God’s grace, the prayerful reading of this book will be life-changing! The book is not an easy read. If you are looking for excitement or superficial encouragement, look elsewhere! But if you desire to follow the lamb wherever he goes (Rev 14:4), then you will find comfort, strength and joy in feasting on these pages. May the Lord meet with you daily as you use this book!

By What Authority?


Robert Hugh Benson - 1904
    This he achieved without the use of the stereotypes that characterized virtually all such productions in his day to the detriment of both sides of the question.Sir Nicholas is the rock-solid head of his household and a devout Catholic who helps renegade priests hide from her Majestys men; but across the way lives a Protestant minister with a suspicious eye.The reader will find himself traveling across the English countryside hunting for priests; the next minute witnessing the happenings at the Queens court. In the midst of all this exists the relationship between a young man and a young lady; one a Catholic, the other a Protestant.During the Protestant Reformation, Catholic families suffered persecutions of various types. Families were divided; fathers and sons were thrown into jail; priests were hunted down and killed; neighbor turned against neighbor. But through it all, the few priests that remained were able to sustain and convert many.The tale told in this book is one of suspense, deceit, loyalty, martyrdom, truth and conversion a perfect companion to Come Rack, Come Rope!

Bible Mystery And Bible Meaning


Thomas Troward - 1904
    In this widely acclaimed publication, Troward discusses and explores major concepts in the Bible and draws connections between these biblical writings and science to attempt to prove his belief that they are not contradictory but in reality are complementary. As one of the earliest writers to explore connections between science and the bible, Troward's Bible Mystery and Bible Meaning is an important work because it has been used widely by scholars both in the fields of biblical studies as well as science for more than a century. This is an excellent publication for those of both fields and also of Troward's other writings in the area of the new thought movement.
