About the Author

John 'Jay' Bowers' autobiography is a very positive story of his walk with God. His life is not without disappointment, but with every tragedy or failure, Jesus brought him to new and positive heights.

Jay's life began in a happy home. Happiness ended less than a year later when his parents divorced. He was raised by his mother's loving parents. He called his grandparents Ma and Pa. His upbringing was continued by a Christian aunt and uncle from his father's side of the family.

Jay graduated from high school and married a wondeful Christian lady. World War II changed their lives. Jay served in the Army Air Corps as a ball turret gunner aboard a B-24 Liberator in the Pacific Theater.

Four years after the war ended their home was very happy. The addition of a baby girl in 1949 and a son born unto them in 1951 made their family complete. After forty years of marriage, Jay's wife Betty, was taken to Heaven. A second marriage ended when Mary, his wife of ten years, suffered a sudden and fatal heart attack.

Jay is now married to longtime family friend, the former Marguerite Main. They live in Anderson, Indiana during the summer and in Englewood, Florida during the winter. Jay has always been excited about life and about going to Heaven. He is ready and Waiting.
