Speaker’s Bureau

Gary Bower
Member since 01/2010
I am a homeschool dad of 12. My wife, Jan, and I have been married for 32 years. We have been homeschooling since 1983 and are now involved in homeschooling our grandchildren. I have authored 10 books (illustrated by Jan). I pastored youth and families for 20 years before hearing the Lord's call to write and illustrate books. Our books seek to inspire families to explore and live God's principles, while creating a hunger in non-believers to know Christ. I have a B.A. in Biblical Studies.

My Mission Statement

My mission is to ENCOURAGE parents with the truth that, even in these dark times of hostility toward God's people, God has a very BRIGHT FUTURE in store for those who desire to understand and walk in His ways.
