• Best Friends with God

    line
    2010 - My newest book! People in the Bible had a dynamic relationship with God. He interacted with them, demonstrating His love for them by responding to their specific circumstances and needs. God wants to interact with us in the same way. As we bring our needy hearts to Him, He will demonstrate His love for us as individuals by responding to our specific circumstances. And, as we experience His gestures of love toward us, we cannot help but respond to Him with love.

    2007 - Now in its fourth printing! God instructs us to “pray continually” (1 Thessalonians 5:17, NIV), but most of us are content to settle for a daily appointment with God for a few minutes in the morning. Too often, it becomes an appointment with disappointment as we struggle to maintain the daily regimen. Instead of feeling guilty about our inability to spend a few minutes with God at an appointed time, why not spend all of our time with God? That’s the biblical model.

  • Abundant Life

    2002 - Out of print, but available. God gives believers more than extension of life and more than the preservation of life through the essentials for a simple, bare existence. We are amply supplied, not with things or circumstances that make life more comfortable, but with the resources of God for an overflowing life. He gives us life to the point of excess, running over with God’s extravagance. We’re talking about life with a capital L. Are you experiencing an overflowing life like this?

Happy Easter!

As my Easter gift to you, I made this four-minute video of the final hours of the life of Christ.

The art in the video is from the French artist, James Tissot (1836-1902), who completed a series of more than 350 paintings of the life of Christ. I selected about a hundred of them for the video.

Producing this video had a profound effect on me that is difficult to describe. I hope watching it has the same effect on you.

Take a moment to reflect and meditate as you watch the scenes of Christ’s final hours unfold.

Writer of the Year – 2011

For Immediate Release

Montana Author Honored as “Writer of the Year” for the Second Time

Grand Rapids, Michigan—Christy Bower, author of Best Friends with God (2010) and Devotion Explosion (2007), has been honored with the “Writer of the Year” award from the American Christian Writers Association (ACWA) at their Spokane, WA, annual conference.

The award is given for overall accomplishment and is the third award that Bower has earned through the ACWA. She won the “Persistence” award in 2006, followed by her first “Writer of the Year” award in 2007 for the successful publication of her first book.

This year’s award recognizes all of Bower’s accomplishments but specifically acknowledges her successful transition into a full-time writing ministry. Because so few find success as a full-time writer, she has become an inspiration to others.

The ACWA’s stated purpose is “locating, educating, and motivating writers and speakers.” They host annual conferences in twenty-four cities. At each location, they present one attendee with the “Persistence” award and another with the “Writer of the Year” award.
