About the author

As a Christian and as a patriot, David Bowman glorifies his Savior and his nation through his fine art, his
books, and his motivational speaking.

His "Expressions of Christ" series is unlike any other Fine art depictions of Jesus available. His intimate,
up-close portrayals show Jesus in a variety of "real emotional expressions". Whether it is a tender,
compassionate embrace (Security) or playful laughter at the innocence of children (Innocence), David's
pastel drawings truly capture the indescribable love of our Savior. As one admirer put it, "In your art, I
love that Christ is smiling and laughing. He is so rarely depicted that way. Our home is full of His spirit
thanks to you."

David also writes and illustrates a variety of books for young audiences. Combining his cartooning skills
and his experience teaching at a high school level, David knows how to engage kids, pre-teens, and
teens with books that are both entertaining and enlightening. His best-selling Who's Your Hero series
helps kids want to become modern day examples of heroes from the scriptures. The Great Plan of
Happiness teaches them of God's plan for their lives and Dude, Don't be a Lemuel helps older kids and
teens avoid negative, faith-destroying attitudes.

In the political realm, David's latest work is quickly becoming THE Constitutional/conservative book
for young Americans. In What Would the Founding Fathers Think? A YOUNG American's Guide to
Understanding What Makes Our Nation Great & How we've Strayed, David uses wit, humor, and a
variety of visuals to skillfully teach preteens and teens alike the wisdom of returning to our nation's
founding principles, and in a way that they will actually "get it". Even adults will enjoy the simplicity
of its explanations. As Barbara Stowell, Vice President of Constitution Week USA, puts it: "I've learned
more from this book than all the other government and constitutional course material I've studied."

And David loves to teach! He speaks to youth groups on religious and political topics all over the
country. His fun, engaging style, on a variety of topics, helps motivate them to be all-around better
Christians and patriots. Your kids won't soon forget a David Bowman presentation!

David Bowman and his wife, Natalie, live in the mountains of Arizona with their four children.

Dallin loves these books! He begs for them at naptime and bedtime. Not only that, but he is "thumbs up" to everything and he goes around proclaiming that he is like Nephi! Or that he is going to be a missionary like Ammon. He says "I'm a baby missionary!" Hollie and Ashlyn also enjoy the books. They really love the pictures and ask lots of questions. I've found them a good resource to use to teach scripture stories.

Books 1 & 2 are my favorite. This one is good, but the stories are not as compelling perhaps? Still worth the read if you like the first ones.

All 4 volumes of Bowman's BoM Hero set were HUGE favorites of my children. The illustrations are so fun, and my kids laughed at the often anachronistic humor (where else do Lamanites wear "Have a Bad Day" t-shirts and does Ammon wear a modern black missionary tag?). I also loved the way they directly applied principles to present-day situations.
