Jay Payleitner Headshot

Really, I'm just a storyteller.

In more than 30 books and having spoken to audiences in 20 states, I'm humbled to say my stories deliver unexpected takeaways that often change lives.

Dads connect with their kids. Marriages are strengthened. Grandparents make lifelong connections. God’s plan unfolds. Optimism sneaks in.

My latest book, Girl Dad, was co-authored with my amazng daughter.  I wrote 10 solid chapters on all kinds of issues girls face -- making friends, hopes and dreams, self-image, boyfriends, this fallen world -- and Rae Anne wrote her own perspective. (Often including stuff I got wrong or missed completely!)

If you're a girl dad or love a girl dad, it's a suprising and enlightening resource.  I promise.

Looking for your next good read or someone to keynote an event? My books and talks cover a lot of ground. Let's chat.

Hooray for Grandparents COVER

Hooray for Grandparents!

Keep the generations connected and build your own legacy of love and laughter. May I do a book reading for your group?

"The mission of marriage is to help each other chase your dreams."

"As indicated by the title, this book is about Jesus. But the main character is you."

"Every kid’s first hero is their father. It's up to you to keep earning that title every season of life."

"What if God wrote your bucket list?"

"God wants you living in your sweet spot. If you can dance, dance. If you can plant, plant. If you can lead, lead. If you can hug, hug."

"One day you will look back on your life and it will all make sense, but for now you’ll just have to trust Me."

"The boy saw the flat world for exactly what it was: A momentary threshold to the rest of eternity."
