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 2/3 million copies, but perhaps his most important book is the recent release, 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! 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. If you're investigating the claims of Christ or feel like tweaking your outreach muscles, get a copy or copies of "THE JESUS DARE." It's an easy read (and a powerful gift) that clears away obstacles and spells out the real life benefits of following Christ. And -- as promised -- the last chapter challenges readers with an amazing dare. Jay Payleitner's flagship book for fathers, "52 Things Kids Need from a Dad," has sold more than 180,000 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 -- gran 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 daughter? Grab "52 THINGS DAUGHTERS NEED FROM THEIR DADS." (Or "GIL DAD") Got a son? Grab "52 THINGS SONS NEED FROM THEIR DADS."
