About the Author

L. B. Cowman worked as a pioneer missionary with her husband in Japan and China from 1901 to 1917, until Mr. Cowman's poor health forced the couple to return to the United States. Mrs. Cowman turned her attention to caring for her husband until his death six years later. Out of Mrs. Cowman's experiences and heartbreak came her first book, Streams in the Desert, followed by its companion, Springs in the Valley. During the next twenty-five years, Mrs. Cowman inspired several nationwide Scripture distribution campaigns and wrote seven more books. Finally, on Easter Sunday in 1960, at the age of ninety, Mrs. Cowman met face-to-face the God she had served so faithfully for nearly a century. James Reimann was editor of the classic works My Utmost for His Highest, Streams in the Desert, and Morning by Morning and Evening by Evening and has more than six million books in print. He passed away in December 2013.
