I am clay.
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that this surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.” (2 Corinthians 4:7 ESV)
I am Maria Bowie. The greatest joy of my life is being able to use the gifts and talents that God has given me to glorify Him. My faith in God and His Son Messiah Yeshua is the foundation and focus of my life and work. In every way, I want to honor and glorify the Father and His Son and encourage other authors and creative believers to do the same.
I love to write, paint, sew, crochet, knit, and make jewelry. My hands are always busy. If my hands aren’t busy, it’s because I am handling some essential life activity like eating or sleeping. I am blessed to be a wife, a mother to two amazing human beings, and a friend to a poodle; so my hands are sometimes busy taking care of my family.
I blog at BUILD Alliance, www.buildalliance.xyz. Here you will find resources and support to help you grow spiritually, develop creatively, and prosper financially.
Thank you for visiting my little corner of the world. Come back again. You are always welcome here.
To God be the glory. In the Name of Messiah Yeshua!

Branding Your Website and Blog: Claiming Your Unique Place in Cyberspace by Maria Bowie investigates different techniques that can be used in creating your own style on your blog or website. Bowie explains the importance of branding with regard to creating an inviting and fitting atmosphere in your space. She explores the impact of color, images and fonts when creating the right background that visitors will find appealing. Before delving into the creative part, Bowie explains that the creator must understand their audience first so as to know what would suit them. She reminds the person branding the site to keep in mind that the process takes time and patience is important in order to achieve their goal. She also includes a list of Bible verses for encouragement along the way.
The content in Branding Your Website by Maria Bowie is diverse and includes many aspects that may seem minor but are crucial in the process of branding a site. I liked that the information is applicable and that I was able to understand the details since not much jargon is used. I also liked that the content is well organized and hence makes reading quite easy. The book is also brief therefore it can be read by anyone, even those who are busy and prefer content that is not too long and that discusses the topic at hand. The verses included at the end were a great addition as they offer motivation. Branding Your Website contains important information that is crucial, especially to beginners in the world of cyberspace.
