"Between the easy-to-read stories and observations, Jay delivers
the kind of insight that helps give purpose to our time on earth.

promises."

"When you're as old as I am, you need to keep your bucket list
short and doable. I've just junked the bucket list I had and have
found a much better one in Jay's book. This isn't one of those
books that make you feel guilty about things you probably can't do.
It's a practical, biblical, grace-filled, and fun way to live out
your walk with Christ. Read this book and you, with me, will rise
up and call Jay blessed. It might even change your life."
—Steve Brown, radio broadcaster, seminary professor, and author of
Three Free Sins: God's Not Mad at You
"I love What If God Wrote Your Bucket List? As I've gotten older,
I've realized that life is all about moving from success to
significance to surrender. So rather than living the rest of our
lives completely on our own agenda, let's think about what God's
agenda might be for us. With an enjoyable, non-preachy approach,
Jay Payleitner gently challenges us to get out of our own way. A
great read and a great blessing."
—Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The New One Minute Manager and Lead
Like Jesus
"Working in politics and public policy for more than 20 years, I
know it's not always easy to focus on the goals God would have us
pursue rather than the ones the world tells us are most important.
That's why I was personally delighted to see this book from Jay
Payleitner, who in 52 concise and storytelling chapters gives us
encouragement to seek first the kingdom of God."
—Genevieve Wood, The Heritage Foundation
"It's rare to come across someone who can get you to stop and think
about serious personal application while keeping you smiling and
chuckling at the same time. Payleitner has hit that mark for any
generation with this book—a great read."
—Brandon Aldridge, director of ministry services, Men's Ministry
Catalyst
"For a long time I've been wanting to write a book about making a
spiritual bucket list. Well, my friend Jay Payleitner has beaten me

this is the book for you."
—Edward Grinnan, editor in chief, Guideposts Publications
"Are you working your plan? Or God's plan? What If God Wrote Your
Bucket List? will make you smile and think, and it will equip you
for your best plan going forward."
—Bob Tiede, director of global operation leadership development,
CRU

at once thoughtful and whimsical. Jay brings the finer gold of the
Christian life to light in this remarkable read."
