Thank you for reaching out to our website today. I don't know why you were looking for us but I know that it isn't an accident. God brings people to us for a reason and for a season.

A WIFE AND A WITNESS did not start out as a domain name for a website. It was a descriptive noun given to me in a prophecy in a small rural church in OH in 1979. The very next day my husband received discharge papers from the U.S. Army and began a journey back to that same rural community where we met the next week.

Fast Forward 18 years and I wrote the main story  for A WIFE AND A WITNESS: Loving Your Spouse to the Lord. An encouraging story of how God made our marriage into shared blessing of commitment no longer founded on one another but a shared commitment to God as the first love in our marriage. The story of our life together.

After several rejections the project was stored on a "floppy disc" for 10 more years when through God's plan, the project was completed under contract with a Christian Publishing Company.

Fast forward again to 2018 when God commissioned MOVE OFF THIS MOUNTAIN: Living Beyond Your Experiences. This book looks at many things from my own life that kept me from moving on in the Holy Spirit's power and direction.

Published in 2026, this book is the story of my life. Set up in three parts, the chapters include my story, God's Story (scripture describing a Bible hero and their experience) and finally, your story.

As a reader you are called to make a decision based on what you just read. Application questions at the end of the chapter may help you see the need to move through that particular experience if it applies to you. Or you may just move on to the next if it doesn't.

We are excited to be expanding the brand A WIFE AND A WITNESS; as plans begin for a third book, JOY IN MY JOURNEY: Laugh Until You Leak.

Stay tuned for more information.

I will also be releasing a rewrite of short lessons I have shared over the years from my time mowing my yard. It is a time where I am usually at peace and calm and God talks to me through nature. Many times I have posted these to Facebook. A friend suggested I publish them as well.

Because she fell in love, Joy Bowser chose to marry a man who was not a Christian, and in the uplifting A Wife and a Witness, she provides insight for other Christian wives who face the same challenge.

Join Christian author Joy Bowser as she fearlessly shares her marital experiences in order that readers might be encouraged and inspired by her candid vulnerability.  Whether you are a Christian whose husband isn't a believer, or a wife desiring to improve your relationship with your spouse this book is for you! A Wife and a Witness outlines specific Biblical concepts to help build a stronger marriage especially if your spouse is not saved, and profound insight into what is necessary to keep your trust in the Lord, allowing him to work in your day-to-day life and in your home.

In her second book, Move Off This Mountain, Joy Bowser writes with wisdom and

experience to encourage and exhort readers to recognize struggles and pitfalls in our human

experiences as opportunities to grow in faith and personal knowledge of our good and loving

heavenly Father.

Mistreatment, heartbreak, despair, disappointment, discouragement, disillusionment, grief

and betrayal can really derail our faith journeys. Weaving together the big picture of God’s

Story as a beacon shining into the good and hard of human experience, Joy uses Biblical

characters such as Daniel, Joseph and Mary to help point us to God’s plan, purpose, and power

found in the finished work of Christ.

Although the hardest roads to walk are the ones that we don’t choose. The wise woman

recognizes that choosing to settle in complacency, insecurity, self-reliance, unrealistic

expectations, or idolatry make it more difficult for God to conform us into the image of His Son.

Joy’s book is filled with examples of the disciples, the Israelites, and the people of God who, like

us, get tripped up on “self-stuff” on the journey home.

Move Off This Mountain: Living Beyond Your Experiences is Joy’s testimony of her

continuing journey of exercising faith in good times and heartbreak, in hardship and suffering to

proclaim fullness and wholeness in Christ. Not only does Joy continue to move off of her

mountains, she helps others find The Way.
