WHAT IF HE IS WHO HE SAYS
HE IS?
The Jesus Dare
In The Jesus Dare, bestselling author Jay Payleitner explores the claims and promises Jesus made and invites readers to discover the truth for themselves in this easy-to-read book.
Simply stated . . . we’re all in this together. And we need to come to the big questions of life with curiosity, respect, logic, and an open mind. But not so open that your brains fall out.
If you are a free thinker, rebel, seeker, questioner, or prodigal you have come to the right place.
What if there is a God who loves you and has great plans for your life? You don’t want to miss that!
So don’t give in to the naysayers. You are lovable. You can come as you are. There’s no reason to be intimidated by the Bible. Don’t let anyone else make this decision for you. How you respond to this dare is too important.
And, if you have a friend or loved one who is on the outside looking in, this may be the resource you’ve been looking for.
Would you like to buy 10 or more copies? PURCHASE AT DAYSPRING.
Leave it to one of my favorite thinkers to issue the ultimate challenge for our day. Jay’s dare is no trivial diversion.
