More About Verna Bowman


Everybody has a story ~ Verna as a writer, speaker, and blogger shares her story with transparency and practical truth to inspire others to discover Jesus on every page of their story.  Serving in Women's Ministry for over thirty years as Bible study leader, conference teacher, mentor, retreat coordinator and other various roles has given opportunity and insight to the needs of the women of today. Verna's mission is to encourage and inspire women to wholeness found throughout the riches of Scripture and within her personal stories. Her love of journaling helped develop her book, Crumbs Along the Broken Path that tells God's steadfast faithfulness along a journey of rebellion, redemption and restoration. Her story has been featured on the 700 Club and various interviews. Her delight is to share openly what God has done to overcome times of personal tragedy which has led to a deep relationship with Jesus. Verna's articles and short stories are featured in Guideposts, Woman's Day Magazine, Power for Living, Cup of Comfort Devotional, Threads of Encouragement Series, Chicken Soup for the Soul, CBN, INSP, Christian Devotions and various periodicals. Verna rests in the passage from Psalm 27:13, I would have despaired if I had not believed I would see the goodness of God in the land of the living to walk through the hard places of life. Verna is a recent widow, momma of four, gramma to five, and works part-time in the medical community. (She is also the proud caretaker of a popular cat named Glory).

Verna is a woman after God's own heart. She portrays Him in all she does no matter what trial she may be facing. In speaking and writing she has a gift to pull you into the story as if you were touched personally by the Master's hand.

Verna came to our Ladies Retreat to speak about nurturing one another in our faith friendships. The Lord used her gifts to help us learn ways that we can support and connect with one another. We laughed and cried as we heard Verna pour out her heart about those who have been faithful with her throughout her own life. Her vulnerability about difficult circumstances was inspiring and we appreciated her willingness to share her life with us. Verna related with our group beautifully and she made everyone feel seen and loved. I would, without hesitation, recommend Verna to speak at women's events. Our time with her was lovely and I know it will be used for God's glory in our church.

Verna has lived turbulence, disruption, and disappointment. Most importantly, Verna has lived and continues to live in the peace and purpose ministered by the Lord Jesus. She's not just a survivor, but she is a learner, a disciple of Christ Jesus, and a faithful communicator of God's goodness and truth.

We had Verna speak at our 2022 Ladies Retreat, and she was absolutely wonderful to work with! She has such passion for Jesus and for women to understand the importance of the relationship we need to have with Him. Sharing her personal story allows women to connect with her, which is such an important thing, we all need each other! We all LOVED having Verna with us!

Hope Community Church was privileged to have Verna as our Guest Speaker for our annual 2021 Women’s Christmas Luncheon. A very down-to-earth lady who shared her story of personal setbacks & overcoming them provided a very relatable testimony to so many that were in attendance. Verna’s warm & friendly demeanor, mixed with some humor, provided a safe space for some ladies to share their personal story with no judgement or embarrassment. Grateful to have had the opportunity to meet Verna and would highly recommend her as a speaker for any Women’s Event! Gina Pucci – Women of Hope Ministry Leader

Our group was so blessed to have Verna come and speak. She has had an incredible life and her willingness to share those experiences gave her presentation an intimacy and power that moved our group tremendously. Her topic “Sacred Space” went right to the heart of our trouble finding time to commune with God in our busy lives. She was a pleasure to work with, patient and flexible with our antiquated and limited resources!

We invited Verna to be our guest speaker at our annual ladies' retreat! She immediately made a strong connection with the women as she shared her personal story through "What If" ~ the women were drawn to her authenticity and genuine care in helping them discover "Even If-faith" in their own story. As a gifted communicator of God's Word, she will touch your life and challenge you to a deeper relationship with Him. I would highly recommend Verna for your upcoming event!

Verna was gracious enough to speak at our Women's Seminar in April 2016 in spite of going through months of personal difficulties. Her words were poignant and sincere. Comments from the many women in attendance contained only accolades. Multiple compliments about the applicability of her words to every women there (which included a wide range of ages). Her thought provoking sessions encouraged us in new ways in our relationship with God. We admired how personal she was in sharing her testimony, linking her story to scripture in Mark 5, of the woman who reached out for the hem of Jesus garment.

Verna Bowman is a speaker that engages and breaks right through to the heart of the women. She shares challenging personal experiences - fully wrapped in the presence of God. The end result is a powerful focus on God in the midst of every circumstance that life will throw out you. This focus is combined with a release of hope and trust in a powerful God who can surely hold us each step of the way.

Verna joined the ladies of our church for a pre-holiday event, where she gave a wonderful talk that reminded us of what is truly important to focus on during Thanksgiving and Christmas, so that we may be more like Mary and less like Martha — or Martha Stewart! Her warm and thoughtful presence helped us all breathe in an important message before the hectic season carries us away. Afterwards, every woman who attended remarked on how much they thoroughly enjoyed it. The way that Verna shared some of her own struggles in life made it clear to everyone that she could both relate to them as women and as Christians. I’d highly recommend inviting Verna to speak to any Christian’s women’s group. We hope to have her come back to see us again one day soon!
