Devotions From The Earth - Deserts

Finding God in the Dry Places

In Deserts: Meeting God in the Dry Places, the fourth volume of the Devotions From The Earth series, you are invited to journey through the stark beauty and quiet strength of the desert. During the six weeks of daily readings, you’ll explore how the desert—often seen as barren and inhospitable—reveals profound spiritual truths about God’s goodness and presence, even in life’s harshest seasons.

In the desert, God’s provision is often hidden in unexpected places—whether in the resilience of the cacti, the life-giving water found in rare oases, or the beauty that emerges after the rain. The vast, open spaces of the desert invite us to trust in God’s faithfulness, even when our circumstances feel dry or dicult. The lessons found in the desert are not always easy, but they are always transformative.

Each daily reading combines beautiful images with the author’s personal stories, Scripture, and prayers to uplift you, and remind you of God’s sustaining love, encouraging you to embrace the desert places with a renewed perspective, both now, and in the days to come.

Come, meet God in the desert, and discover the life He brings even in the driest of places.

“Refreshing isn’t a word we often associate with deserts. But Linda Carter gives readers a refreshing perspective only gleaned in parched places. With vivid imagery, she invites us into these rugged yet stunning areas where we can make sense of and nd beauty in life’s desert seasons. As a certied naturalist, she has a unique ability to anchor biblical truth in visuals from God’s creation that readers will hold on to.”
