Gary & Jan Bower (married 32 years), this adorable book warms the hearts of all ages in its celebration of commitment, purity & true love!


This book has received numerous awards and great reviews from well known Christians like Gary Smalley, Eric & Leslie Ludy, and the Duggar Family. 

This book is part of the “Bright Future Series” which shares Biblical principles for families in beautiful and down-to-earth ways.  The Person I Marry was awarded “2010 Book of the Year” by the Christian Small Publisher Association. 

I enjoyed reading this book with my children.  We all enjoyed the beautiful illustrations on each page.  Jan Bower is a wonderful artist and painted each portrait using her own family members and daily life as her subjects.  This really makes it a great gift for weddings, baby showers, anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, graduations, teens, church groups, and more. 

This book is full of encouragement about a Godly marriage and how to choose a spouse, and was a joy to share with my family.  My kids easily understood the concepts and I am sure this message will benefit their futures choices.
