Road Trip: Jesus, Jeremy and Me


Book Description

This book is about the road of grief I traveled when my only son died. The death of my son struck me down in a place where I had never been before, and it left a deep, gut-wrenching wound that had to have time to heal. My son left to go to his eternal home, and I was left to bear my sorrow. However, God, in his abundant mercy, came to me. He gave miracles to me that blew me away. On days that I knew I could not go on he carried me, spoke to me, rocked me, sent help to me, and visited me. Oh, yes, he did. The road was not one I wanted to be on, but it was the one I was on. The road was rocky, yet the road was strewn with compassion, love, and joy. I did not travel it alone. God, the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Great Holy Spirit were right there on that road with me. They never left me. They gave me grace, strength, and courage to keep going. Satan was my enemy on this road. He hurled stones at me, tripped me, tormented me, and tried many ways to instill fear in me. He wanted me to travel a road of defeat. God would not allow him to win over me. God was my refuge, my rock, my Father, and my victory. This book is as much about living as it is about dying. You do not have to be in grief to read this book. Open the book and take a look.

Story Behind the Book Over the years, I have worn many hats, from pre-school teacher to Young Life leader to political activist to senior editor. But most of all I love to write! In the past few years, I have published more than ninety books for children, teens, and adults. I hope the Diary of a Teenage Girl series will impact the lives of teens through an honest and gutsy approach of a "diary style" book.

UnClobber reexamines what the Bible says (and does not say) about homosexuality in such a way that sheds divine light on outdated and inaccurate assumptions and interpretations. This new edition equips study groups and congregations with questions for discussion and a sermon series guide for preachers.

My Journal for Jeremy


Book Description

I am Val Bower a daughter, wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and friend. I gave birth to three beautiful children and later adopted two more; I also have four stepchildren. I have spent the majority of my adult life working with people who need some kind of help. Usually a little bit of stress is a good motivator for me. But when you hear the word cancer and the doctor is talking about your child, your mind does not know what to do. When the next doctor tells you he has two weeks or maybe a month to live, you pray. Someone once told me that I didn't have enough faith. I was taught to pray, "God's will be done." I said that prayer for months and then added, "God give me strength to face the future." I kept a journal of the days and weeks of struggles and hardships, based on this mom's feelings. I have no intention of causing pain or anger to anyone; it is all based on my opinion. My wish is that after reading this, parents will hold their babies more often. Sisters and brothers will say I love you and mean it. I wish for families to realize that tomorrow may not come. Every day should have a memory to hang on to.
