Jay Payleitner is a nationally-known speaker and writes easy-to-read, hard-to-put-down, make-you-think books. He has written 30+ books and sold more than 3/4 million copies, but perhaps his most important book is the recent release, CHECKING THE BOXES ONLY YOU CAN CHECK. As you know, today’s mainstream culture trashes Christians. They claim we’re narrow-minded, hate-filled, and don’t care about the world. But you and I know that’s just not true. This book is the first step to flip that script! God has placed different assignments and quests in front of each one of us. We each get a chance to choose which boxes to check. For those who believe in a loving God, it’s time to recognize our purpose. To model love. To connect the generations. To defy the lions. To feed the enemy. To throw starfish. And make the world a better place. In other words, what if Christians started acting like Christians? Also don't miss "THE NEXT VERSE." The book asks the question, "You may have a few Bible passages you cherish, quote, tattoo, stick to your bumper, or hang on your wall, but do you know the next verse?" Sixty examples of favorite verses remind you that the Bible is a wonderful puzzle that all fits together perfectly! People are using it for both a group study and personal devotional. "HOORAY FOR GRANDPARENTS!" is the perfect gift for grandparents, new grandparents, soon-to-be grandparents, friends who are grandparents...or yourself! Also, prepare to be surprised by "THE PRAYER OF AGUR." Inspired by a little-known prayer in Proverbs 30 (written by a charming prophet named Agur and the only prayer in all of Proverbs) this surprising little book offers ancient wisdom that will help you discover balance, contentment, and purpose . . . your "sweet spot" in life. Jay Payleitner's flagship book for fathers, "52 THINGS KIDS NEED FROM A DAD," has sold more than 210,000 copies. He's written seven other books for parents including "DAY-BY-DAY DEVOTIONS FOR DADS." Plus, three books on marriage. Getting five-star reviews is a challenging book that asks the most important question we all face: "WHAT IF GOD WROTE YOUR BUCKET LIST?" That was followed by the fast-selling "WHAT IF GOD WROTE YOUR TO-DO LIST?" And now . . . "WHAT IF GOD WROTE YOUR SHOPPING LIST?" Or if you find yourself in an occasional conflict -- who doesn't -- grab a copy of "DON'T TAKE THE BAIT TO ESCALATE." Instead of giving disposable birthday cards or graduation cards this year, celebrate those milestones with Jay's hardcover gift books "IF GOD WROTE YOUR BIRTHDAY CARD" and "IF GOD GAVE YOUR GRADUATION SPEECH." Got a son? Grab "52 THINGS SONS NEED FROM THEIR DADS." Got a daughter? Grab "52 THINGS DAUGHTERS NEED FROM THEIR DADS." Even better, get your copy of GIRL DAD, which Jay wrote with his daughter, Rae Anne. The book is 10 chapters with Jay giving his best advice on "Your daughter and her friends," "Your daughter and her boyfriends." "Your daughter and her hopes and dreams," Your daughter and her mom," and "Your daughter and this broken world." But the best part is that Rae Anne closes out each chapter with 1000 words or so on how her dad is wrong or what he may have totally missed. It's fun, inspiring, and full of real-world insights for Girl Dads! Prior to becoming a full-time author and speaker, Jay Payleitner served as freelance radio producer for a wide range of international ministries including the Salvation Army, Prison Fellowship, Bible League, Voice of the Martyrs, and National Center for Fathering. For more than a decade, he produced Josh McDowell Radio, Jesus Freaks Radio, and Today’s Father.
